While I was jogging in the park this morning, I saw a guy practicing walking on a tightrope. He tied a narrow nylon strap to two trees and walked on it between them.
It reminded me how much recognizing truth versus fiction is like walking a tightrope. So many girls, me included, want to believe a guy really feels something for us. They go through the act of it, but do they really? When do we accept the truth?
It broke my heart seeing a really nice woman last night. She moved to another city a few months ago and left a guy she cares very much about behind. A friend of his told me recently that he never really cared for her. He respects her, but there's just nothing there. She's staying with him this weekend, which likely makes it even harder to accept the truth. She told me last night how difficult it was for her to break away from here - her friends, the place she had called home, from him.
I always wondered how people learn how to walk on a tightrope. They practice.
When my friend and lover visited last, we talked about my next visit in May. We didn't pick a firm date. He's not a planner. I kind of have to be.
This is where the truth comes in. I've faced this truth. Us as a couple is fiction. We never will be. The truth is, we have a blast when were together.
It's a tightrope, and I'm okay with that. I've practiced.
Love to the single girls,
Addison
