Relationships @ MindSay

(For those who haven't picked up the subtle movie references, it's "28 Days Later". But that's only for the subject line. For those who know me well, I love messages-within-messages. So a slight twist to the name of a movie, to reference the situation, and voila! Subject line. Actually, if you've seen the movie, it may make some sort of twisted sense if you try and tie it into this series of posts. Now on to the show..)

 

.....

When your love is on the run
Don't fall apart at what's begun
It's just the healing process
Of your heart

When your dream has lost it's cause
Don't waste your time in closing doors
You'll be the last to know
When love has gone

Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run
Love is on the run from me

....

 

excerpt from "Love Is On The Run", The Moody Blues

 

....

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is

Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares

The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

 

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
....

 

excerpt from "Unforgiven", Metallica

 

....

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, 'round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on
The show must go on

....

Happy Independence Day! As I have done many years in the past, I officially can say this:

 

T-minus 5 days and counting...

Crossing the line between June and July, fireworks start to pop more frequently at night. M-80's and other large report incindiaries are being set off in the neighborhood. What was once quiet up to the 3rd, at least, now becomes a nightly quest to shatter the silence until the 4th. 

 

July: Named for Julius Caesar, converted into a month after a suggestion from Mark Antony. Originally pronounced like 'Julie'.

 

For most of the month, the Western Astrological sign of Cancer the Crab rules until July 23rd. Can't think of a worse sign to be born under. With others, you can at least say "I'm a Pisces" or "I'm a Taurus", which nowadays might get you the response of, "You're a car??", but to say that "I'm a Cancer"...

 

Yeah, I know you can say "I'm a Cancerian", which is better, but not many people have heard of the word 'Cancerian'. Makes you sound like 'Libertarian'. Where Cancerians make up for it, however, is that the symbol for Cancer looks like '69' turned on its side. Score.

 

July's birthstone is the ruby.

Cancer is a water sign.

 

Just like the ebb and flow of the Moon that rules Cancer, life ebbs and flows. The pull of others can shift one off balance, or align them just right, or pull them into someone else's life. Even if the source can't be seen, its effects are still felt.

 

Attraction and repulsion are words that scientists and engineers use to describe unseen forces at work in the magnetic, gravitational, electrical, and atomic fields of study. The same words are used in relationships, with much the same meanings, although the outcomes are less well defined and predicted.

 

Just like as the Moon swings around to the other side of the Earth, or it takes up a place in Earth's shadow so we can't see it, its presence is still felt by the tides, animals, and the bubble of Earth's magnetic field. Just like people who have come into our lives, and are no longer there, still have an impact to this day because the memories of them persist like so much unseen gravitational pull. Their actions affect how we act, and react. Their inspiration, or cataclysmically painful connection gives us a new path to walk down, either towards a positive source, or running away from it, screaming.

 

There's nothing we can do. We're programmed to react, and to learn from the outside world.

To adapt.

To survive.

 

In 9 days, new programming will take effect.

Tides will shift - subtly for most, if not all.

A Cancer will be removed, but there will be no fireworks to celebrate.

 

 

I just found out that my ex has taken all of our inside jokes and is now using them with his new gf... we are still friends and i kinda feel like this should be something kinda sacred between us like a nickname, i would never share them with my new bf... am I overreacting???

HOW COULD YOU GO?

Trying to fill in this emptiness
But the pain just don't give a rest
I need you so,
How could you go?

Has it always got to feel like this?
Missing out on your gentle kiss
I need you so,
How could you go?

Every piece of my soul I'd bare
If only you showed you cared
I need you so,
How could you go?

All this pain I'm going thru
Every day that I think of you
I need you so,
How could you go?

How could you leave this way
When there is so much more to say
I need to know,
How could you go?

I even offered myself to you
Let you in
Let you walk right thru
I need to know,
How could you go?

Don't know what I'm gonna do
And I hope that you feel it too
I need to know,
How could you go?

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.

When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.

 There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again.

 Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.

You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.
