One For The Team

Interesting things are afoot. I like it when life throws little unexpected surprises your way as it is one of the measures of us all as to how we deal with them. Sometimes the surprises are good, sometimes they're bad but each time they happen, they should be a challenge to deal with. It's funny the kind of offers that get thrown your way too. Some people are so desperate that they will do anything to get what they want, or what they think they want. It can be tempting to give in to the offer, actually step forward and say "Yeah, I'll take that and then we both get what we want" but is it really worth going through what that person wants you to do, particularly if you're not that keen on doing it? Sorry, that sounds terribly cryptic doesn't it? Well I can't go into too much detail as the person could very easily be reading this and I'm not one for upsetting folks. Suffice to say, I didn't give in.

But there are times where we wish we had given in, right? Everyone has some regrets about things and I certainly have more than my share. Lately I regret saying the wrong thing to people, saying things I may not necessarily mean and then being too much of a coward to say "Actually, what I meant to say was..." It can cause a lot of heartache and outright ill feeling to simply say something on the spur of the moment to get what you want at the time, only to think about things in more detail and with clarity later on and think that you really, really, ought not to have said that.

But still, life is throwing up some interesting opportunities for me at the moment. I've accepted that I will not receive closure from the ex. We have finally met and chatted about things but there was nothing from the discussion we had that I would be able to say "Ah, so that's where things went wrong!" so I have simply had to accept that as an experience and move on. I'm hardly a man who has women knocking on his front door demanding attention (Well except the other night but I turned her away) but I have a feeling things are looking up and at least I'm putting myself out there, which is important. It's far, far too easy to stay at home and martyr oneself for an unknown cause, trying to prove a point and losing your mates in the process. I'm gonna get out there and have a laugh, at least. Humour is the best way to deal with these things, after all.

And for those single ladies out there? Don't worry, I'm not about to start cracking on to you all.

I'll wait for you to come to me! :-)

(Yes I know I'll likely be waiting a long time in that case...!)
