In Proper Perspective

" IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE " BEFORE THE PAIN OF ONE BAD RELATIONSHIP HAS EVEN ENDED... SHE'S INTO ANOTHER MAN, THAT SHE JUST MET. NOT TAKING THE TIME TO EXHALE, AND NOT TAKING THE TIME TO HEAL SHE'S BACK ON THE SAME ROAD, HEADED TOWARD REGRET. BECAUSE OF A FEW DATES, THAT DID GO WELL SHE IS SLEEPING WITH HIM, ALREADY NO THOUGHTS OF TOMORROW, HER FOCUS, IS ONLY ON NOW. NO THOUGHTS OF HER OLDER CHILDREN, WHO ARE WATCHING THE THINGS SHE DOES WATCH HER GIVE UP THE MILK, TO A MAN, WHO DONT WANT THE COW. CONVINCING HERSELF, 'CAUSE SHE HAS TO, THAT IN TIME, THINGS WILL WORK THEMSELVES OUT IN SPITE OF THE OBVIOUS SIGNS, THAT THINGS AREN'T GREAT. BY NOT TAKING THE TIME THAT WAS NEEDED BEFORE LEAPING INTO THIS NEW THING SHE IS MORE OF A LIKEABLE F--K, THAN A LIKEABLE MATE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE CHILDREN JUST KEEP IT IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE BE MINDFUL IT'S MORE THAN JUST YOU, THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR PLATE. IT'S OKAY TO TAKE TIME, AFTER ENDING A ROMANCE TO LAY BACK AND CHILL WITH THE KIDS THE RIGHT ONE WILL SHOW IN YOUR LIFE, SO BE PATIENT AND WAIT. --------------------------------------------------- The time between relationships is relative to the need for healing. For some of us, the between time, is longer than it is for others. But the first since sign we should look for, is the ability to think back on the hurt and the pain and feel nothing, but, what we learned from it. If anger still sufaces, or tears or anxiety, we are not ready, to move onto the next relationship. No matter how badly we want one. WE ARE NOT READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we move too soon, it is usually out of desperation and loneliness. And then, we are soooo prone, to making more mistakes, that will cost us more pain, that will just start the cycle all over again. That's where many men and women find themselves...and never understand, why. It's a vicious loop, that keeps you within its parameters, until you have the commo
