Everybody is doing it…..

The reality is that everything you harp on and make yourself feel bad about are things that won’t kill you. If I ever had to swallow my pride, I might just choke and die and be in my casket with a huge lump in my throat because even in death they wouldn’t be able to rid me of my pride. I am a proud woman. I’m proud that I take care of my family, proud that I have maintained healthy mature relationships with friends, proud that when Neyo sang “She got her own” I felt it deep in my soul that he was talking about me. It has taken me an extremely long time to like myself and anything that affects that homeostasis is rejected, including things that could potentially be good for me. But unfortunately the human condition is against any form pf equilibrium. On our dying planet, in our dying bodies, change is bound to occur.

By the grace of the creator I reconnected with a gentleman I had met at Varsity. He was gorgeous, well-spoken and SINGLE….please let me say that again S.I.N.G.L.E! The only issue was that he was based in Durban and I was in Lesotho so all we could do was talk. Months went by and finally he popped the question. “Amo, would you be comfortable visiting me?” Comfortable???  In my mind this was my future husband and this was IT!!! My destiny was calling. Id visit and we would either fall madly in love or hate each other. But then the pesky left side of my brain started deconstructing it, what if he isn’t the guy in the pictures? (I had met him before so this was impossible. BUT what if he had gained so much weight he was unrecognisable?) What if he is lying about everything, what if I get there and he was a human trafficker? I said screw it and made the plans but he flaked on our first meeting. (To be fair he told me well in advance) But STILL I was devastated. His reasons didn’t even matter, I was shattered. This is not how I had imagined my happily ever after beginning. He had wanted to postpone the visit but I received it as a rejection. It made me want to shut out the world and forget I ever met him, the risk I was taking didn’t make sense anymore.

Nursing a broken heart now that My Future Husband was a disappointer. The phone trust we had established was gone! All the cute plans of walking on the beach hand in hand and watching the sun set were also out the window. It was a lot! I was miserable with no Future Husband so that Saturday I decided to get a quick cure of wine and chats. I always say, problems that can’t be solved with chocolate, wine, a good cry or a debriefing session with your girlfriends or boyfriends, are for professionals. So when I didn’t want wine and wasn’t my usual charming self my friends were shocked. I didn’t want wine or braai meat at the same time, I was really going through it.  A friend finally asked what was wrong and I unpacked everything. My Future Husband was gone and now I was just a sad woman missing a man who just didn’t understand how hard I had to work to be mentally prepared for this trip. He didn’t get that for me to really live outside the pleasure palace I have created was hard. Leaving to go see a potential love was new for me. Then my friend asked what it was that I really wanted? I told him that I wanted to reach out to my Future Husband and fix things. Then he asked me what was stopping me. I didn’t have answers, just a blank stare then I told him about my pride and fear….he laughed.

He began his speech with a sip of wine, pressed his lips together, looked me square in the face and said “Amo, life is too short for you to still be thinking about your pride when it comes to your heart. What’s the worst that could happen? You will never get want you want just thinking about it. If he rejects you and never want to see you, at least then you will know. You won’t be the first person to cry yourself to sleep. If talking to him makes you happy then do what makes you happy. Get your man and be happy!” So much wisdom was exchanged that day between sips of red box wine. (We don’t drink box wine anymore.)

We are all taking Ls. Every single last one of us has had egg on their face and cried themselves to sleep. It’s part of being alive. If your logic is that everyone else looks like they have it together, you are not wrong. They look like they have it together but you will never know if they do. Everyone is battling something. I was busy thinking about things that didn’t ultimately matter. Not being embarrassed had become so important to me that I lost sight of the clear fact that I wasn’t going to get another chance to say how I felt and have this experience in my life that would teach me what I was meant to learn.  

Being open and honest about your feelings is HARD! However, I want to reiterate!!! Everyone else is trying!!! We are all making mistakes, learning, getting hurt, being disappointed and taking Ls, private and publicly. Throw out the old adage that if all your friends were jumping off a cliff you wouldn’t also jump because you don’t need to be like everyone else. Our cliffs are defined by our own individual threshold for pain. Your cliff might be wearing shorts, while my cliff might be speaking up in meetings at work. Regardless what your cliff is, you will only ever know the life you have already lived if you never take chances. Don’t waste your life looking at someone else’s glass thinking my goodness their glass is so full and decide to drink from the cup of your life slower. If you take a chance you might get a jam jar and shots of tequila on the other side or have no drinks at all and remember to call it a night. You will never know if you just sit there looking at the glass you have now and thinking you can’t part with its contents. You can and you should, you are already dying so get busy living. Send the text, make the call, fight for it, be persistent, take a day off but live like you mean it!

I decide to get what my heart most desired. I called the man and took a chance on Future Husband. I prayed on it and trusted his intentions were good and they were. I visited and it was magical. Sadly he wasn’t the husband the creator had intended for me. But as far as positive male experiences go he is still the ONE!!!! We don’t speak anymore, if I ever see him again we will talk about the crazy adventures we had because the risk resulted in reward. Don’t let things that don’t matter be the reason you don’t have the things that do.

Make no excuses, live your life, everyone else is doing it!!!!!!

Bisou…bisou
