SPRING~ “Can’t fight the tears that aren’t coming” (Goo Goo Dolls). The sun is out and girl, so are you! You’re turning heads and you are soaking up every ray of s̶u̶n̶s̶h̶i̶n̶e̶ attention beaming your way. Relationship is not a word you could bare to utter during this season. This is the season that your player qualities peak through the blinds of the sweet southern girl that plays by the rules and waits by her phone for your call or text. You’re not collecting hearts, just adventures, laughs, and occasionally drinks. This season is similar to what Hollywood depicts as “How to Be Single.” 1. Dance your nights away 2. Give out your number liberally 3. Kiss a stranger… or three 4. Maintain a care-free/top-of-the-world mentality Andddddd costume change! You’re just living life and answering to no one except your best friend who marvels at your stories even though she’s 1001 (Dalmatians) miles away. What would your mother think? She thinks you’re doing it right; she was married at 27 and said there was so much more of the country she wished to see first-- independently. Like Beyonce, Michelle, and Kelly said, “all the women independent throw your hands up in the air!" And don't mind the glares and judgmental stares– you're running this show. Skepticism is ever popular in this season. That’s a major contributing factor to blockading any of the contenders from getting too close. Remember that saying your Pawpaw told you tirelessly before you went outside? No, not “well back in my day, we had to walk in the snow, uphill both ways.” I’m talking about “there’s safety in numbers.” Well, little did Pawpaw know, he was also providing me crucial dating advice when shielding your heart. How can you fall for someone when you’re talking to three others? If you’re juggling three plastic pastel hearts, each of a different shade, how can all your energy be on the darkest colored heart? The center of your focus is maintaining the rhythm, not trying to hold the one on your right— oh, now left. The problem with seasons: One of the reasons great relationships are rarer than a free parking spot in a tow-free zone, is because our timings are off. He’s in summer while you’re in fall, so to your dismay, it won’t last. Then, you’re in spring while he’s in winter, so to his dismay, it will be incredibly short-lived. And if you are in the same season with someone, there’s still the matter of compatibility. Gosh, how exhausting! Finding someone, not even “the one” is dependent on seasons, commonalities, and luck. Two perfectly compatible people need to be in the same place at the same time with the same intentions… or as my last four posts have illustrated: in the same of the four seasons. Hope you have your umbrella, sunscreen, boots, and earmuffs ready. Oh, and keylime bars wouldn’t hurt.’ Back to the daily grind~ grind/crush/crumble two sleeves of graham crackers.
