Spring
Release is Here!
Well BigGirlz the season of
spring release has arrived. With the
exception of a few lingering days of frigid temperatures, the physical signs of
spring are slowly starting to peek their heads thru the dreary cloudy days. I
saw my first daffodil in full bloom today reassuring me that now is the time of
“RELEASE”!
Now whether you are the Releaser(previously
referred to as the Clinger) or the Releasee it’s time to pull up those BigGirl
panties and deal with the inevitable.
Let’s start with the Releasee.
Now you were warned months ago what to expect during this rite of passage,
surely you didn’t ignore the signs and fall for this finely orchestrated
charade? Come on…really? If you fell
prey to this madness, just discreetly raise your pinkie and tip out of the room.
Now go to a quiet and secluded place and promptly proceed to slap the shit out
of yourself for being so STUPID! You were given a step by step, play by play
outline. Come on, five more slaps should
do the trick (lol). Now that you’ve gotten that out of the way, GET OVER IT!
I realize how easy it is to
fall into the “maybe this is the one” trap. Loneliness, cold weather and a few
stiff drinks can wreak havoc on our ability to think rationally. BigGirlz you’ve got to stop leading with your
heart. I’m not saying close yourself off to the possibility of love but learn
to recognize and listen to that tiny little voice of reason no matter how
painful or uncomfortable it may be. Do you really want to go through this same
shit again next year? Only you can make that decision.
On to Mz Releaser(or Clinger if
you prefer)
My my my what have we done (yes I’m snickering)? If you find
yourself in this position, be careful (yeah, I’m still snickering) men can be
just as crazy as women when it comes to matters of the heart.
At this stage of the game, you
should have completed all phases of the Release plan. (If you need a refresher,
go back to the post dated October 1st 2012.) Remember you’ve both decided
to “give each other some space” (whatever) and you’ve moved on to “Done Deal”!
DO NOT LOOK BACK! Spare him and yourself the potential awkward moments or homicide!
Keep moving forward.
Spring has arrived time to dust
off the swag you stored away for the winter and get re-acquainted. Begin testing the waters. Start practising on folks, but tread lightly. You don't want to pick up something or someone too soon. Remember you have the entire summer ahead of you.
Side note,
for all of you that have what I like to refer to as “dead wood” laying around
in your life, it’s time to set that crap out on the curb for trash pickup as
well. You know you’re bored and you only keep them around “just in case”. Let
that mess go. It’s time to make room for a fresh crop of possibilities. Life is
too short to settle for “Mr. or Ms (if that’s your preference) Something To Do”.
I’m not saying stay to yourself and be bored oh Hell No! I’m saying keep them
in perspective. Sure they help pass the time but they can cause you to miss out
on what your really looking for or better yet, what's looking for you; so stay focused and keep your eyes open.
Time to clean house. I'm guilty of the "just in case" factor. As a matter of fact, I just set my first load out.
That's why I'm moving on to the next one, cleaning as I go…making room to bloom baby!!!!
