| "And they lived happily ever after..." |
My friend and I have this boyfriend connection. Meaning, the most recent guys in our lives could practically be personality twins. Our relationships with these men run so parallel, it’s scary. When I see her (which is not often) we always spend at least an hour updating each other on our current status with these guys, and we are freshly amazed at the similarities. I always tell her that I’m only one chapter ahead of her in the same book. It’s nice to have someone you can relate to in that arena. Someone who won’t judge your relationship or the guy you choose.
As I mentioned in my last entry, my relationship ended. I've now begun the “Re-discover Yourself and Reclaim Your Goals and Passions in Life” chapter. If I may say so myself, it's getting good! I'm discovering a million new things about me, and I'm really, really loving it. The last chapter was rough ya'll. It involved a lot of hurt, forgiveness, and acceptance. A toughie, but defnitely worth it.
As I said, my friend has pretty much always been a chapter behind me. But lately she’s been telling me how her relationship has been taking a turn for the better, instead of crashing and burning. I sat quietly and listened for quite a while as she recounted all the positive things that had been going on between her and her man. And this thought immediately sprang to mind as she neared the end of her story-
God, I want her to have a happy ending.
I won't pretend a teensy weensy part of me doesn't hope to keep the boyfriend connection with her. It really has been a comfort to know that someone was going through exactly what I was going through. But more importantly, she is my friend. Her guy is her guy, and my guy was my guy. Despite what the two relationships may have had in common, at the end of the day they are still two different relationships, and if hers has a chance at a better ending than mine did, I wish that for her. I wish it with all my heart.
As for me? I choose to stay right where I am. Cause honey, it's a good place to be. :o)
Love and blessings,

Regardless of how our stories differ by single chapter, that does not change the fact that the final chapter could be very much the same (obviously with differing journeys to take us both there based on decisions we, and our guys, have made/are making/will make- your decisions are something I'm proud of, admire, and wish I had the current strength to do so, but I realize that we can both have the most abundant happy endings God has for us and would like to give us, without us having the same story). I am sure what he has for you is marvelous. No matter what - we will always have the boyfriend connection. But more importantly, we will always have the friend connection D. And that goes deeper than boyfriends..make that deeper than men.
