I
wrote this last week. Posting for my dear Eve to have something to read while
on the quiet train. Shhhhhhh!
**************************************
Today
was my day off, but one client wanted a little more blonde in her hair, so I
made an exception. My clients are more than clients, I consider most to be dear
friends, as they do me. My friend/client today is a couple years younger than
me, has never been married and never had children, both being longings of her
heart. We’ve had many conversations/debates about being married. I assure her
being single and happy is better than married and unhappy in an unhealthy
relationship. She feels marriage is what she needs and wants and that I can’t
understand because I have experienced it. She and I have touched on this a few
times over the last decade and a half. Today, I shed a different light on why I
say what I say and we understood that she can’t understand my point because she
hasn’t been where I’ve been.
We
entered another discussion on the topic today, and it brought a couple of thoughts
to mind, ones I have never realized.
I
was saying how I question myself about a few things, things I would chose death
over living through; one of them being trapped in a relationship that is
unhealthy and why I cannot and will not do it again. I have written about it
before …
