As I continue on whatever stage or status I am on the Mancation agenda, I had some interesting insights and reflections as well as interactions. That goes without saying.
While out one night (same night as The Bloke run-in), one of my dearest and oldest friends Shadow, says she and the others were having a chat about me. Really I thought? She says, "You look great, and just overall carry yourself differently than you have been." Wow. Here I thought I was just being "me" on an every day basis but I realized I had laid ground work. Perhaps, (take notes here) in not having a guy around to frustrate (and age) me, I was taking the time to be who I am, and the woman I know who has been trapped. Trapped into thinking all guys don't know what they want or send mixed messages. Ok, relax male population, I know we women mislead too! But as stated before, I do believe not everyone is an asshole. Just weed out the assholes and you save yourself heartache, frustration and wrinkles! I took that all in and was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps in spring cleaning, I was making room...for the "breaker." He who shall not yet be named.
Within the same week, I was at my job and in speaking with some of the students, one said to me, "You look great today!" I thanked her, I mean I do try my best to look professional in that environment. (Sidebar- this is a student who has been away for a few semesters.) She continues,"No, I've been meaning to tell you that I've noticed you've been looking great a lot lately. Are you in love? There's something different about you." I laughed and told her that I wasn't in love but on Mancation. She giggled and wanted to go on one herself. I said, "Well apparently if you commit, you TOO can look like me" - an informercial at it's best. ha ha ha ha
That was twice (if memory serves) that people took notice of me and perhaps verbalized what others have noticed...Could it simply be that in taking a break, ridding the bad, hexing the ex, or holding out for more in good for your complextion and lifestyle? I enthusiastically say, "HELL YEAH" and pat myself on the back for having a bit of a resolve at this point in the Mancation. I have never given up hope and the world hasn't either.
Man Date: Doing well there, little lady
