A carnival poet's ramblings of growing up

The Down hill of the Rollercoaster
Mood:  sad
OK world, I am back to post more about feelings and ramblings. Needless to say, the happiness that I had written about in my last post (November 15, 2005) did not last; and, I was conveniently dumped the Sunday before Christmas.

At first, I was crushed. Who wouldn't have been? But, it took me a good few days to wait the rollercoaster out and bounce back into life. When I trust someone, I trust them without doubt and it's a devestating blow to the soul when that trust is yanked out and treated like an old, dusty rug.

So, I am back in life and meeting people again and just letting life come to me as it has in the past. I will, one day, meet my better match out there and start the life that I would like to achieve.

I had the week of hell though. Within a time frame of 48 hours of my suddenly being dumped, I became very ill with the flu that was going around and my water pipes had all frozen in my house. I had no water for 3 days and I missed two days of work. I couldn't eat, had a fever, coughing, sneezing and a sore throat. During those first days, it was hard to believe that life moves on. So much bad luck when there was previously so much good luck that was happening.

All things their reason.

Three weeks before I was dumped, we went to Las Vegas. It was a stressful trip and one that shouldn't have been taken. I was invited to the wedding of a carnival friend of mine. I didn't want to go out there alone for the weekend and he had said that he had always wanted to go.

There was no time to do anything.

For New Year's Eve, I hosted a big party at my house for our bike club. It sucked going through the holidays alone, but hey - I had a few beers, it was my house and I had fun. I'm thankful for this new year and look forward to what it may bring.
