Have you ever dozed off for like 30 seconds and then just couldn't go back to sleep? Well, that's what happened to me last night. So, since I'm a little bit sketchy about Tylenol PM, I was left up with HBO OnDemand. I started watching episodes of Sex and the City, those of Carrie in Paris. So from watching BIG show up to save her from The Russian and all the romance and cliche in between, a strong smell of loneliness began to funk up the room. I didn't like it and to make matters worse, it started to rain. I started to feel sorry for myself. It was pissing me off.
You all know about my intimacy idea and come October will be about ten months of no sex. Do I want applause or boos? I don't know. It was something I set out to do and has kept many a date away. Which is a good thing, isn't it? The funny thing about that is how many guys seem to be so into the idea and " I feel you" and " Thas Whassup" and even " Thats exactly how I feel" until we get off the phone and then I never hear from them again. I shouldn't be surprised though, should I? Well I must say that the intimacy has worked. There is one person who I have spent some intimate times with. I even cooked breakfast for him. Me, who has said in the past, " I don't cook for no niggaz." Yeah I did, well I appreciated his time and perhaps I did want more than that. However, I guess that's why they say be careful what u ask for. I wanted intimacy and I got it. Anyways, so why couldn't I get more if that's what I wanted? I have trust issues. Yeah I know we all have been cheated on and all that, but my trust issues go much deeper. It's mostly not that I don't trust him , but I don't trust myself with him. I don't trust myself letting my guard down. I don't trust that I can give of myself completely to him. I don't trust that we can work this out in this Candy Store of Atlanta. You get the idea. Maybe I question too much. I probably do...question too much. In defense of myself, he didn't do too much to make the situation better. BTW I know you know I'm talking about you, I need to release this, so I don't care.
Ugh...I've completely lost track of what I had started out to say. All in all, I'm tired of games, not being taken seriously, negligence, being made to be the one at fault, inconsideration, and lack of regard for my feelings. If you get what you ask for, then I want affection, romance, fun, respect, and honesty. I think thats all...sorry if I confused y'all.

So confused all I can say is Woo woo woo. You too cute for all that, it'll all work out. That's my last cliche.
ReplyDeleteloneliness, know the smell well... but sounds like you've got it together and know where you're heading.. hold tight, you'll get there...
ReplyDeleteA bit confusing, yes. But strangely, I understood exactly what you meant...
ReplyDeleteI feel you on this post. My trust issues run deep like "Bam" in a flick. Several years back I had a similar philosophy when it came to no sex. Then, after three years of not having sex I'd got to the point where I forgot my reasons for being celibate. I think im going to have to post about this intimacy thing. It can be a tricky deal but stay strong Val.
ReplyDeleteNot confused, I understand all the feelings and fears you express.
ReplyDeleteWish I had something magical to say to get past them ... but I don't. Though I know the only way to get over a fear of letting your guard down is to do just that.
Let it down and let the chips fall wherever .....
Let the Church say AMEN!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay Val... I feel you...
ReplyDeleteWhen I returned to NYC after close to 10 years in DC I remained celibate for a while. In essence, I felt I was cleansing my soul of all the fornication I enjoyed my last year in Chocolate City (..but seriously) the celibacy trek needs to have a reason. You can't just lock your goodies away in the hopes that the one lucky guy who is allowed to rummage through the jewel box has been certified to do the right thing. First, you'll be placing a lot of pressure on one person to not f*ck up and second your wait may make you vulnerable to open shop to the wrong dude. All said, treat your body like a temple, but recognize that without parishoners the place is more like a shrine. Share astutely, make safe and respectable choices and enjoy your youth. You're not going to be young, smart and beautiful forever Val. You don't want to be sixy with a nicely wrapped chocolate bar that is stale dated! LOL
all right for getting it off your chest!
ReplyDeleteI have NO idea why the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent popped into my head while I was reading this. What's that all about! Ten months, huh! How bout I applause and boo you both! It guess its more about what you want. Do you want to have sex and just can't get it or are you purposely celebate?
ReplyDeleteYou really needed that. I am glad you put it out there though because it helped someone. You never know. On the path . . .
