The Ghosting Friend and how Values Change

I dreamt about Lisa. Not my sister Lisa, but my Ghosting Friend Lisa. Well and truly ghosted! If you have been ghosted by a friend - someone you thought was your best friend - you'll know it's unlike any other friendship 'break up'. I have had other friendships end, some of them drifted away (particularly in my teens and 20's), and then some seemed to change dramatically and in ways that suggested there was nothing I could have done to 'save' the relationship (in my 30's). As we age, our values may shift - I had a fantastically funny, intelligent and incredibly filthy minded friend called Kathy from the time I was around 20 to the age of 33 or 34. She was from a wealthy family which she pointed out to me a few times - asking how it felt to see she had been given 'everything' and I had 'nothing'. I was glad that she had a life where trying to support a very loving but alcoholic mum wasn't something she had to worry about. Her mum w...

Love, Friendship and Death.

True Love: worth the wait. September 12th 2019: I am in love with a kind, intelligent, generous man who also happens to be extremely gorgeous. He’s more discreet than me, so I’ll call him R. I am tempted to call him Handsome or Love-face, but it sounds a bit objectifying! I haven’t written about it so far because of the irrational fear that to be too pleased about something will jinx it. Yet here it is, the kind of love I had assumed was only the territory of romantic comedies. It came at a time when I had decided to be celibate and focus on all other areas of my life. I’d been treated so unkindly by a pretentious little turd preceding this relationship that it was like I’d been hit around the head by a ‘wake up’ stick (no, not a knob). When that brief interlude ground to a humiliating halt, two of my male friends were very supportive. Each of them took me out for a lovely dinner that week, and one of them was R. At the time, R had taken a liking to a very hot co-wo...

JOY BOMBING! and don't buy fur FFS!

Hello there my little winter woollykins, I've just switched on my electric blanket, Toscat is sniffing around and meowing because she wants me to go to bed and cuddle her. Of course, that's one of my life priorities, arranging myself exactly to suit the needs of my 14 year old cat. As far as my love life goes, the Piscean is no longer on the scene. He's adorable, incorrigible and simply not interested in the kind of relationship that I would like to have. Toscat in her own fur, plus fake fur for good measure. I have a new romantic interest though; he really cares about people, he laughs when I am attempting to be funny, and he doesn't mind how much I talk! I know, sounds pretty damn good doesn't he? And now to discuss life purpose style things! "Life on Purpose!"Not porpoise, though poise and grace are admirable qualities if you are a dancer. I have started a FB group called JOY BOMBING! which is similar in spirit to ...
