CHANCES

That’s the name of the latest program I’ve been watching and also the “action” I’ve been thinking about most lately. Are there people in your life you believe could do with a second chance even the 20th time around? Are you strong and giving enough to give them that gift of hope as I heard someone put it today? I can think of at least two people who could do with a second chance. And I want to be the bigger person. I’ve realized that chance and trust are synonymous. To give someone a second chance means telling them you’re ready to trust them again.
And the thing with trust like respect is it’s earned and not demanded for. I’m the kind of person who finds it torturous to keep a grudge and feels absolutely sickened knowing someone’s walking around wishing me the worst. So today dear friend, here’s to your second chance. Here’s to the reassurance that I’m willing to trust you again and let you into my life. Chance is a risk and some risks are worth taking since they lead to new fortune, opportunity and prospects.
Human relationships are about wrinkles and warts and acceptance of other’s weaknesses, not forgetting our own. Life’s like a flick at a dice, too unpredictable, letting go of pains sometimes means embracing a new beginning and sometimes that’s what we all need. To have a new beginning. So no, it isn’t true that nothing can heal the wounds inflicted by a “traitor” because a simple ‘I’m sorry’ said at the right time, is redemption for anyone.
Go on; give that person a second chance.............. You could save their life and, people are what matters. PEACE and LOVE.

I DON’T LABEL MYSELF

Funny thing happened to me today; someone I hardly know said I was a snob! In all fairness, rather than lead him on I chose to stay away and for all my efforts I got labeled!!! Just because I can figure out pretty quickly whether I’m interested in someone or not does it mean I should compromise myself for the sake of someone’s ego? Is this what society expects of me? To go out on a date leading nowhere for the sake of peace? Just so someone’s feelings won’t be hurt? Can’t we be a bit selfish when it comes to deciding about matters of the heart?? I am a monogamist, maybe that’s what I should’ve said upfront, would’ve been different if I at least had a chance to get a word in……..I’m pretty up front about the things I want, no sugar coating for me. This Mr. Right now stuff is getting pretty tricky me thinks! Sigh.

That’s why the next time someone wants to add me to his list of conquests I will politely decline, I refuse to be added to a list of people anyone has had the chance to devour. I do things on my terms…. Most of the time! When I was younger I did what kids do, but now that I’m older, I’ve gotten a bit wiser. Is it ok to enjoy the “benefits” a short term affair offers, just for the sake of lust? I’m confused. But not frigid. Just conscious. I believe in love and everything it has to offer, hopeless romantic I am!
