You Decided You Have Had Enough

Finding the breaking point.

You Decided You Have Had Enough
Brave Belle

That lingering question presses on the dimensions of your brain as you decided if you have had enough. I'm not talking about the kind of enough you feel after gorging yourself on turkey at Thanksgiving. I am referring to the kind of enough that infuriates your soul. The kind that brings you to tears over the thought that you let yourself get to this point.

You are so scared of the outcome that you try to over-rationalize the actions of yourself and others. The butterflies in your stomach are a constant reminder of an unmade choice. The decision you feel you have to make is insignificant in the great winds of life, but you orchestrate scenarios until you are living every one of them. But why? If you just listened to the voice in your mind from the beginning, you would not have put yourself through the days or months of agonizing pressure.

Here is the key (something I have and will continue to struggle with facing): You are only as good as you believe you are. I can sit here and try to convince you of how wonderful, smart and beautiful you are. Until you look at yourself in that all-telling mirror and BELIEVE you are fabulous, my words mean nothing. You have to decide you have had enough. It's easier said than done. Over the years, I have placed myself in situations where I had to decide if the relationship, goal or loss was worth the turmoil it caused my mind. I have had to overcome the feeling that I was settling. My Dear Friends, I challenge you to decide that you have had enough and I promise the risk taken is way more empowering than the settlement made.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
