Mind, Body, Soul
Never Enough
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! The book we've been looking at - well excerpts - gets
to be a "salad bar" type thing. Take what you like - try something new
that looks "edible" or interesting.
The Art of Letting Go - Chapter 7 - "You Were Never Enough For Me" -
Becca Martin
I was falling for the way you would show up and surprise me at my
house. I was falling for the way you'd do sweet things without
realizing how much they meant to me. I was falling for the way you kept
your phone alarm set for me to wake up for work, even on mornings when
I wasn't there because you knew I'd need it another day. I was falling
for the way you looked at me when we laid next to each other. I was
falling for every piece of you from your goofy laugh to your rough
hands.
I started falling the moment you sat down next to me at the bar and
asked for my number after we'd talked for a while. Then a few short
months later after I stopped letting myself fall for you, I knew that
it had to be the end of it, and I presume you did too by the way things
fell apart so gently and completely. It seemed we walked away from each
other like it was nothing at all. The months I spent sleeping by your
side and all of the moments we shared together all just faded away ever
so smoothly. Just like that, without a word, we knew it was over.
Maybe it was because after all of the time we spent together, I didn't
feel the connection I read about having. I didn't feel sparks fly, even
though I felt nerves when I saw you or turned down the dirt road
leading to your driveway. I felt the warm happy feeling inside when you
said things that let me know you cared about me, but it still wasn't
enough.
I think it hit me then. I liked you. It was easy and fun. But I don't
think I'm ready to make a sacrifice to be in a relationship just yet. I
felt a little sting when I walked through my front door alone, but I
was comforted by the fact that I could just be alone and not worry
about someone else.
Life is the longest thing we'll ever have to do but, it goes by quick.
I do believe you should experience loving the wrong person and the
heartbreak because it makes you stronger and smarter the next time
around. But don't waste too much time loving someone who doesn't make
you feel whole, don't spend your time with someone who makes you wish
you'd rather be single.
