There comes a time in life when even a woman has to "man up". We have to face that even the best laid plans often go awry. The storybook endings are just that. We often have to face the facts as they are, not how we would like them to be.
The control we thought we had often lies in others' hands. Choices that we make shape our destiny. The age old question come from the words of an old The Clash song, "Should I stay or should I go?" Either way, you gotta face the consequences. The severity of which depends on your emotional investment. Hurt a little now or a lot later... Cutting our losses to save one's own hide often deprives us of the ride of our lives, while sticking it out to the end often causes irreparable damage to the heart. The battle scars run deep. But the pay off of endurance is often the things fairy tale endings are made of. Giving that happily ever after feeling that every girl desires.
The ride is worth the price of admission. Enter at your own risk. Life is not responsible for any injuries that may occur during the ride as a result of the rider's failure to properly prepare. WARNING: You may experience the high that comes with living on the edge. You may experience sudden, bone shaking loss of control due to unforeseen pot holes, curves or sudden , steep drops in the road. Wearing a seat belt is highly recommended.
Just know that when you do exit the ride, you will be different than when you embarked. You will grab those tired ol', worn out boot straps and once again lift yourself above the din. Brush yourself off and trudge forward. Different in every way from when you started. Wiser than before. Carrying those lessons learned into the future so that the next time you step onto that thrill ride, you will be better prepared to land on your feet after the fall.
Man up. Lesson learned. Love always endures...It's the people that all too often fade.
