The blast from the past continues to pester and this is upsetting me as he is now all like 'wow do you know what you want now from a relationship - pity you didn't know back then when I was around'. It makes me feel demeaned and useless. I really need to harden up and tell him to go away for good. I don't have his number in my phone so that I don't weaken and text - he only ever textes. Next time there is a text I will ring straight back and tell him to fuck off.
The child and I have had some fun and she has had some excitement with Induction day at her high school and uniform shopping. She is so ready to move onto the next stage in her life. Yes she can still be a 12 year old, but there are glimpses of the lovely young lady she is potentially turning into. I say potentially because she still has the ability to NOT reach her next birthday based on behaviour!!
I continue to struggle with my folks away. Just to be able to ring and say 'blah blah blah' good, bad or indifferent.
So onward with the Warrior Woman attributes.....I definitely have No. 5 - there is an amazing group of people around me who are encouraging, supportive and friends. I just need to remind myself of that (often).
5. Find your tribe. Your pack. Your posse. Your band of sisters and brothers. Surround yourself with people you trust, respect and enjoy. You don’t have to always agree. You don’t even have to always get along. But these are the faithful ones. Loyal. Steadfast. And true. The ones who will be there for you. With you. By your side. The ones who have your back. And will hold your hair back while you barf.
