I’m in what one of my colleagues aptly referred to as a “reinvention period.” And he’s right. Every so often I completely turn myself into a vastly different version of myself. In the past this has been brought on by failed relationships, wanting to keep relationships from failing, or wanting to keep the next relationship from failing.
No more.
It’s a well documented fact that I’m not very good in relationships. I’ve been married and divorced three separate times and been in too many other relationships to remember. But they don’t last and I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. So here’s the list of reasons I’m not “that” droid.
- I’m too old
- I’m too young
- I’m too short
- I’m too fat
- I’m too smart
- I’m not smart enough
- I’m too passionate
- My taste in music is too weird
- I’m not a musician
- I work in education
- I can support myself
- I don’t make enough money
- I have tattoos
- I don’t have kids
- I do have cats
- I don’t like to drink wine
- I have weird hair
- I have short hair
- I have bipolar disorder
- I’m opinionated
- I will speak my mind
- I’m not great at singing
- I’m not politically active
- I don’t like Trump
Lastly, but I’m finding now is most important, I don’t give a good goddamn about any of those things and whether or not a man puts stock in them or not. This is me, this is the skin I wear, and if you don’t like it…
The door is over there. I’ll be busy enjoying my bellydancing class, grilling myself a steak, and rubbing my kitties’ tummies.

Just right too!! Because after all, what’s not to love. If they are to blind to see it, feck em!

Men do not do well without women around. Women do exceptionally without men. Maybe it’s because we do everything for both of us. 🙂 I could check off about half of what is on your list. 🙂
