It’s a hard Pill

it’s a hard pill to swallow when you find out where you stand on someone's list of priorities. Everything comes before me. I sit on a back burner, waiting. I wait a lot. I wait to be recognized. I wait to be heard. I wait to feel like I matter. One day, maybe, I will matter.  Maybe one day I will be loved the way I love. Maybe one day I will be someone’s priority.  Today is not that day.

Fairy tails

I would give my shirt off my back to help someone. I often see myself as a door mat. I let them walk all over me. I give and give and I love doing it most of the time. Sometime though, I see that it doesn’t do any good, I’ll never be accepted for who I am. I chose to give to sponges. They take and take until I have no more to give. I expect the more I give that they will love me. It doesn’t work that way. I just want to be loved the way I love. Just once. I would like to feel like people want me around for me. Just once I would like to be accepted for me. Too loud, interrupting, cussing, me. In my family, that will never happen. I’m told these things aren’t character traits but I’m too stubborn to change. One day I will find a place where I belong and will be accept for who I am. I believe in fairy tails!

The Journey begins

 So this is the beginning of the middle of my life. So far, I have not learned who I am. I thought I knew. I have been a daughter, a wife, a mother, a girlfriend, a grandmother and a lover. Yet, these are what I have done not who I am. These should not define me, yet they are the terms I have used as my definition. As each one fades into the past, I have felt a part of how I describe myself disappearing. Each time I try to reinvent myself yet I still feel smaller and less. So, I’m am going to learn who I am not what I am.  I have often wondered how others describe me. Do they see me as nice, sweet, a pain in the butt, mean? I’m sure I have been all of these and more. Am I selfish, evil, and manipulative ? Do some see me as a door mat? I have probably been these to some as well. So with all of these labels, how do I know where the real me begins?  This is where I’m going to begin my journey of finding me. Where do the labels end and I begin? Who is DJ? I believe I am a goo...

If he only knew

 I am the type of person that can’t do anything half ass. I am always all in or not at all. This includes love.  I love beyond measure. I place my heart in the person’s hand for them to care for it. How they care for it is up to them. I expect them to care for it the way I would care for theirs. That’s not always the case. Love comes in many forms and my expectations follow those forms.  My sons are my breath. I love them in such a way that I would give them my last breath. I raised them to be independent and to move on to create their own little worlds. I think I did a fine job. As well or better than my parents did.  My parents are a part of me. Without them, I wouldn’t know how to love and how not to love. I learned both sides of the coin from them. I love my friends and would give the shirt off my back to help them.  In my life I have loved one man with all of my heart. He makes me feel whole. He disturbs my soul. Sometimes in a bad way, some times in a good...
