Katherine Hepburn once said that she didn't think men and women were suited for marriage. She thought that we should live next door to one another and visit often. That's what she did with Spencer Tracy. Lots of visits, no marriage.
I was shopping yesterday and I saw 2 Mennonite women with a small child. I thought to myself that they were better people than I was because at the time all I was thinking about was sex, peek a boo bras and crotchless panties (amazon. com if you're interested). Certainly they never had such thoughts.
So what do I want? Integration, not the sexual feast or famine scenario I had for over 20 years. I can't give a name to what it is I am experiencing, but I can't seem to suppress what I'm feeling any more. I know how to do it, though. You eat a whole pan of brownies when you're not hungry. You spend money on things you don't need. Just bury those feelings.
Can't bury them any more and have no need to since I live alone and can do what I want. What is surprising is that if I nuture myself to the fullest extent it's like feeding a starving person.
Does this make sense? For over 20 years everyone else came first. Husband, kids, house, car, pets, other people and then me.
It's a selfish time now. It's all about me. Me, me, me. I feel kinda guilty. I should focus outward. Hard. Might as well learn the lesson, though because I think any future relationship will fail if I don't learn to put myself higher on the priority scale.
