It is better to be loved.....

Well my friends this is my last post and hopefully the most informative. It has been fun on our journey but all good things must end. I started researching the absence of romance and discovered a cyber relationship of my own. The cyber age is a catalyst for all beginning romances and your commitment to it is what wins the race in the final stretch. I won the race and I am excited to tell you all about it. Lamaris and I are doing great and things cannot get any better. I never imagine that a cyber romance could transform into something wonderful. Skepticism today is for folks that do not believe that even on a computer, love can blossom. It feels so rich, pure and uninhibited. Distance makes the reunion even sweeter and more exciting. Even though I cannot promise identical results, I can encourage you to seek romance no matter the outlet. Like in the movie, the Sum of Us, it is better to have loved then not to have been loved at all.

From one good friend to the other........

I watch an excellent movie the other day that dealt with some of the intricacies of young love and relationships. I could empathize with this movie on so many levels that I just thought that you would appreciate it too. It took me back to a time when there were such anomalies as real friends. You know the ones that we think we have, but when we compare them, then ours is entirely different. I always use to dream of friends that would follow you around the world to promote your happiness. The ones like Gayle and Oprah. The ones that start great but end up on the other side of weird. Sisterhood of the traveling pants took me back to insecure romances, budding friendships, college rivalries and obscure humor. I felt like I was there and I want to take you there also. Enjoy.....

Fairytale or Reality

It has been over a week since we last talk about this romance thing. I was watching pretty women the other day and I had a sudden feeling of euphoria that just made me glow all over. You know the one where the woman dreams about a prince and magically the prince appears. Every time I watch pretty woman I dream of what it would be like to be swept of my feet and lived happily ever after. It always makes me cry when Richard Gere climbs that skyscraper. I think my chest swells a little bigger and I feel all warm inside. Funny how watching a fairy tale can make you view your own situation. Right now, I have not communicated with Lamaris in three days. I was a little upset but surprisingly not to the point of it affecting my life. One of my clients made the statement the other day that it is what it is.... I did not understand that until today. In your life, everyone dreams of that perfect person that will sweep you off your feet but in reality that is just a fairy tale that may or may not come true. Everything in life is ultimately under your control and up to you. If you are willing to put effort into something then you will reap the rewards. A relationship whether on-line or not is sort of like watching a flower bloom, if you water it and nurture it then it will grow. If you neglect it then it will die. I purposely have not communicated with Lamaris because in reality I am just tired of the extra effort on my part. With schoolwork, employment, children and the other daily life stressors there is no room in my life right now for cyber or any other type of romance. I have not expressed my thoughts to him because in actuality I am waiting on him to break it off with me. Just rehearsing that statement did not evoke a reaction. I thought that it would be fun to experiment with cyber dating but right now, I am not so sure. Strange how everyday your life and views change...one day you are this way and the next day you are that way...
