When I was younger I never thought in reality terms about commitments I was making. Going to college - figured I would do the time, graduate and get a job. Buy a car - pay the payments and drive it, keep it running, change the tires, oil, etc. Making a commitment to another person for life. Holy cow for life!!! When you are 20, you think - oh yeah I can do this, no problem. I love this person, I know I enjoy being with them, it will work out. Then the years go by and you experience life, the ups and downs and sideways.
Two people ascending the steps of life - each taking the steps one at time and together. At some point one of them is a step ahead, and then two ahead. The first person calls to the other to catch up, to take their place next to them but they just don't seem to catch up, so the first person goes back down the steps to the second person and encourages them, helps them take the steps and maybe for a few years they are back taking the steps of life together but then it happens again. One falters behind and before they know it - one is a few steps ahead of the other, questioning why the person on the lower steps can't keep up and why the first person is so far ahead. At what point did they start to grow apart.
It makes me wonder how I'm ascending the steps of life with the people in my life. Am I ahead of them or faltering behind them? How can I catch up or do I need to slow down?
My head hurts now just thinking about it. More on it later....maybe.
Most people I know crave things like chocolate, cheesecake, peanut butter or salty snacks. Alcoholics crave alcohol, druggies crave their drug of choice. My craving is of a different kind and sometimes I crave it so much I can actually feel it, smell it and taste it which only makes me crave it more. I'm lucky enough to have two men in my life to fulfill that craving. Totally different feel, smell and taste which makes it all the more exciting for me.
