musicians beware


i've discovered what my problem is:
i am inherently & probably through my wounded self, attracted to the exact kind of person that is horrible for me.

recently it's manifested itself in a musician. in the past it's been other extremely creative types.

i dated the theatre major. his drama was too much.
i dated the philanthropist-actually 2 of them who each had their own non-profit orgs. their obligation to save the world was exhausting.
i dated the writer. he was a freak. seriously. scared me.
i dated the chef. he was amazing but older with needs i would never go for.
and now i've dated the musician. i was blinded by his beauty.

but you see-it IS MY problem. it's not creative people that is the problem. it's me. i force it. i am attracted myself to the drama. i'm afraid of it being good. i don't trust it if it's easy. and frankly i get bored. and more often than not, the difficulty accompanies a creative spirit.

it's sick. i know. i need prayer.

i'm still such a child.

part of the problem is that i am attracted to the right kind of men-in fleating moments-but for some reason, maybe the big man upstairs knows this dysfunction hasn't totally worked itself out of my system.

or maybe-as a wise woman told me-i just haven't met him yet. it will just come together then.

You are being way too hard on yourself. You're a 24 yo female who's attracted to men. I don't think that's childish or sick. I think that's just human. Nobody has a choice about who they're attracted to (attraction isn't a choice). We have a choice though as to what we do about it, just like anything else. That's the gap between stimulus and response, right? i.e. where our choices come in. I'm quite heavily attracted to creative women. Don't be hatin' so much on yourself.

thanks buddy. i always thought i was just hard on others ;)

made a bit of a vow to myself that i'm not going to talk about boys for a while. i sure will think about them but rehashing the emotions that are involved in something that is virtually unexplainable is exhausting.

life is full. love is a big part of it-but not just between the sexes. i'd love to believe the lie that if i had that i'd be wholly satisfied.

blessed are those who hunger & thirst after richeousness. for they will be satisfied. matt. 5:6
