The Baring Of My Soul
The day I decided to be real
“Colleen, wait up please. I want to talk to you. What are your plans tonight? Can I take you out to dinner?”
I look at the man asking me these questions and make up some excuse for why I couldn’t accept his offer. If he was offering me friendship, maybe my answer would have been different but he was asking for a date.
I do not date!
Nine years since I agreed to a date, a kiss, a relationship and another ending.
I no longer accept or agree to any part of the whole seduction, love, pain, broken hearts and bad endings.
My heart is locked tight, no room for love and my life, is just perfect as it is. I love being alone. I love being single. I love being heartbreak free!
My days are full. I have no need for a significant other. I have the love of my two boys. I need nothing more.
I enjoy spending time on my own. Time I use to read, to write, to work on myself, getting to know who I really am.
I started publishing my writing, allowing it to take on a life of its own, as I slowly started to heal and remember who it is that my life experiences have made me.
