I have to admit, I've been having a not so great month or so with the social life, relationships, friendships and all of that. I've been taking myself WAY to seriously. Seriously!
This weekend, however...was fun! Went out to a restaurant with some friends and strangers from a church I sing at...and basically had loads and loads of fun. Don't get me wrong...I can be a serious, ponderous, "deep" kind of guy. But...I can also be a fun, flirty, outrageous social butterfly--saying things that border on the risqué, crossing the line, and zinging everyone left right and centre with bon mots that can't help but be received well.
And honestly...with the month I've had, I've forgotten that side of me that exists underneath the masquerade of respectability.
So my words to everyone out there who are like me...try it! Just once be irrepressible, outrageous, fabulous and fun! Bat the eyelashes, and with a seductive tone in your voice--mixed with a hint of acid ;) Vamp it up!!!
:D

Our little lives are rounded with a Sweet dreamS...
Sweet Dreams
"Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me, it's plain
I should know I'll never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you"
This is a song sung by Patsy Cline...a great country music singer...
Why do we find it so hard to let go of relationships that are bad for us? What motivates us to keep the bad, and to reject the good--especially when it comes to people in our lives? And I'm not just talking about romantic relationships--I'm talking about friendships, family members...people who are toxic?
A friend of mine recommended this song to me as something I could sing--I sing baritone with my range hitting the low tenor and high bass. And it is a beautiful song...hauntingly so. But more importantly...it also tells us that at the end of day we do have to move on...and put certain aspects of our lives behind us...and that it doesn't do us any good to hem and haw and dwell over the past. Even if it's understandable...or even if we don't know why we're doing it-either way, sometimes we just have to put it behind us.
In one of Shakespeare's play, there's a line which states, " What's past is prologue" And it basically means that everything that has happened in the past is simply an introduction for what is to come.
"What's past is prologue". A lesson I have to learn for myself especially (I tend to hold grudges sometimes). It's in the past...and it serves to set the plot and the play for the main performance. THAT's what's important. What goes on in the here and now.
Let the play begin!!! :)
