My Vitriole

I wanted to go off and say how I gave it my all in this relationship, how I gave everything I had, and that I got nothing in return.

But that isn't true.

M.W. gave me a lot in return. Starting with confidence that I never had before. In a big way, that is one of the most bitter components of my rant, because I never wanted him to be my "mother hen", never asked him to "save" me or foster me until I could make it on my own. Because I could always have made it on my own.

Another thing that M.W. gave me in return, was to always impress, to do more than necessary, to go overboard with what those around me expect... more work will come my way if I blow them out of the water with my awesomenitude (I'm sure that's a word).

Part of my vitriole lies in that I gave it my all like it was for real. And yes, in case you wondered... It hurts like it was forever.

Change of topic...
Ever heard Suzy Bogguss? Okay sure, it was one of M.W.s and my favorites. Mainly country, but she has this great "Swing" album out, which knocks my socks off! "Burnin' the Toast for You" reminds me of such a newlywed feeling. Perhaps one day, if I don't end up like J2, someone will let me burn his toast?

peace.
