Did Y'all See That?? ...and other strange happenings.

Ok y’all…I’ve noticed something rather peculiar lately…

Do y’all believe menfolk act out in cycles? No, ….seriously. I’m asking because, for the last few weeks, I’ve noticed the males surrounding me personally, to some extent, whether negatively or positively, seem to come at me around the same time, each time! I’ve begun to “track” these bouts of chance to see if there really is a cycle. The first tracked incident took place on/around Mother’s Day (May 10th -11th); this carried on for about 48 hours and was more of a negative cycle, where I was either blamed, accused, affronted. The next one I experienced was this weekend, Memorial Day (May 25th – 26th) weekend, and it felt more of a positive cycle…maybe the correct term would be more amorous, I should say. And, it’s not just 1 or 2 of the same men, it’s various male figures each time!

Now, I know my smart readers may be saying, “JustTrena, maybe it’s YOU that’s cycling out different emotions to these individuals!” I honestly thought about that and….naw, it’s not me. My reasoning being, the men involved in this madness aren’t all in my usual circle of existence. The degree of familiarity ranges from ex-spouse to a one time meet! Heck…or a never met! When I think about it, there was another incident before Mother’s Day when this phenomenon happened!! …I can’t recall the dates so I can’t track that one but I will be on the lookout for when this happens again! Just wish those suckers would go into a “generosity” phase… a sista got bills!!

Facebook is the .... hmmm...

Hey ya’ll. Yeah, ...another year has passed and here I am again! Lol… I make myself laugh sometimes but hey…I’m here now, right?

Before I start with my “what had happened was” story…I’ve got to fill you in on the last year, aka the "back story". As I was “sitting in the passenger seat” of finding my “Mr Right”, along came this man…just what I wanted in a mate… attentive, consistent, fun, totally open about his past, …well, at least it seemed that way at the time. But ya’ll know, if you have read my past posts, you know I don’t get into “spilling dirt” about my exes, but suffice it to say, he turned out to NOT be my Mr Right. I had to end it after eight months… and yes, it truly hurt when I finally figured this out.

Now back to my story… Ok, I was going to title this post “Facebook is the Devil” but honestly, I think I’m being unfair. In reality, Facebook has been a blessing in that I’m now able to communicate with family and friends I wouldn’t otherwise get the opportunity to do so with. It’s just another social medium and we all should understand that it’s the individual that determines how Facebook is used.

Ok, so, what had happened was, Facebook was just the final proof that “he” wasn’t mine for the keeping. All I’ll say is this, when someone tells you who they are, believe them. Don’t think you’re so special you can change a leopard’s spots or a zebra’s stripes. That person can be the coolest, nicest person in the world, if he’s not ready, he’s just not ready. Even if he says he is. Go ahead, ask the obvious question… “But JustTrena, how are you to know?” Well, you don’t know. Just be aware and keep your heart open enough to know and believe all relationships are just auditions for your last TRUE RELATIONSHIP. Ok? Even when it hurts to end, you just have to press on …and move on when it’s time. I’ve moved on. Yeah, every once in a while I catch myself looking in the rear view mirror but the view is getting more and more distant. I’ll remember the trip though.
