nothing, actually.
this morning was a nice morning for a revelation.
long story short: ex-boyfriend who never wanted to broadcast our relationship now has a new beau and he can't help but broadcast his love for her. evidence: facebook. every status is about her. there are pictures of her and him. and here's the kicker: he actually has _______ is in a relationship with ________.
now, i had to take a deep breath and analyze the sudden change in behavior.
questions that came to mind: what's wrong with me? why wasn't I enough? how come he wasn't proud to have me as his girlfriend?
revelatory moment: he has issues. he had issues months before we started dating (it was actually the first thing i noticed about him: his issues). he has issues with his family. he had issues with his past relationships. he had issues with me that i tried to love through.
all this to say: ain't nuthin wrong wit me. (GBK style) haha
this is not to say that i am perfect and that i don't have my own issues, but believe me...some people have more issues than others. and i am not judging our fellow brothers and sisters with more issues.
i'm just saying...i dodged a major bullet.
some may call me a hater. i call myself a realist (well..i force myself to be a realist because at heart, i am an idealist)
and let me put a few disclaimers out there:
a. he may have found Jesus between our break up and his new beau
b. which means the mention of Jesus doesn't annoy him, make him close down, cause him to have a fit...anymore
c. his new beau may be at a place where his issues and her issues work well together and thus, they are helping each other grow
the cynic in me...(again, i force myself to be a cynic because at heart, i am an optimist)...says: i doubt any one of these disclaimers are true.
but then again...who really knows? life has a a way of making the impossible happen. (did i say the impossible? that was mean, wasn't it? sorry.)
as uncle walt says: thank God for revelation.

Preach Dij! Bullet succesfully dodged. Blessings and a wonderful partner heading your way! (When it is time!) If you want to hear God laugh, make your own plans! He knows what you are ready for and when you are ready for it.
So happy you learned from that experience and grew from it! You are an AMAZING woman!
