Born Free (Album Version) - James DarrenWell my friends it has been an awful long journey for me....As the title of this blog says, there is good news and there is bad news.....Let me share the good news with you......I am still alive.........

........Seriously I mean that.......
My last visit I shared with you that we had not sold anything to leave for Ohio. Well we have only sold a few items not amounting to much in the bank. Daily there has been little to no activity to make the move both on my part and on Jeffrey's. Everyday either Jeffrey was to tired or his head was in the television,computer or resting on the arm of the couch. I kept thinking. Why on earth is he not excited? Why is he not even trying to get this done? Why, Why, Why? We have battled over and over again to no avail....I just could not understand. Will no enthusiasm I felt that I should wait to see what God was doing...In my heart of hearts I truly felt that this journey would salvage our marriage. I could see great things happening once we got away from this State.
In the totality of our marriage we were happy for about 3 years here. We actually stayed in the honeymoon phase that long. Then all of a sudden the honeymoon was over. Life here in Florida has been a living hell for me. I don't like this area.I don't like the lifestyle, the attitudes, the ignorance, the aloofness,the wages,the job market as well as the work place. Working here is unbelievable.I worked approximately 4 year and have lived in the area for 9 years and I have no physical friends. How does that happen? I am a very social person. likable, lovable (sometimes), funny, smart, intelligent, have a great sense of humor and am very giving to all who cross my path. More than willing to put a smile on the faces around me,to go the extra mile when someone is in need. To comfort when comforting is needed etc. All of this and still I have no friends here......
I have lived behind this computer now for 5 years. Gotta tell you that it has been lonely. Now don't get me wrong I love my computer and my friends inside the computer. That said there is nothing like having real friends to have fun with. to kick back with, to shop with, to go out to dinner with anything, anything but Nothing.......was all I got....Wanted a cat but was told that I could not have one,tried for a puppy but that didn't happen either.I had a brilliant idea to get a fish tank just to have something else that was living around me...Something that was just there. I could love it, it would love me back and their would be a peaceful environment. Even a little turtle something,,Nothing.....
I watched more educational television than I have my entire life, more cooking shows, biographies, H.B O, national geographic, history channel., religious channels,science etc, I have read more literature than anyone else I know. I have been blogging all over the place just to have some outside contact. Let me tell you the whole blogging thing has been a wonderful experience for me. It not only connected me to wonderful people it also assisted me in my writing talents along with opening up my mind to creativity. I love to write and create wonderful stories. So for there past years that is exactly what I have done.
Blogging for fun on one site, blogging spiritual stuff on another, just having fun on another, writing erotic stories. which by the way was not only fun but I learned just how erotic my mind can really be. I have been writing to encourage others, to open hearts and minds to a better way of living. Being here has been the best experience of all. When I first got into the music thing I joined so many sites that it was mind bending. I would go to each site not to blog but to listen to music. The doors of my mind and heart flew open when I would put the headset on and let my mind wander with the music. Out of that came more creativity. I have learned a lot since being here on this site.as well as all of the others. I learned so much about myself. That said this site afforded me a relationship with all of you. This site is good because there are good people here who are genuine. Good people who have touched my heart, good people who have been here for me as I was going through my struggles, good people who love me, good people who read my posts and got something from them whether it be one of humor,encouragement, deep posts and light posts. I am blessed to have you all as friends..
O.K I wandered...LOL LOL LOL LOL Anyway as the days have been going by and nothing was getting done there came about a discussion on why it wasn't happening. I had felt all along that Jeffrey did not want to move. Here I am praying and trusting God for all that we need to get us there and deep in his heart he does not want to really go. We argued more than once over this one. A divided house will always fall. Now I had made up my mind that if he did not want to leave Florida then I would have to go for this place is killing me.Still Nothing. There is nothing here for any nice social person. Not only is there nothing here but in 9 years the only place that I got to go to was the Golf Course to watch Jeffrey play golf. O.K a little lie. I did get to go out a few times but that was it.
I have spent 9 years of my life doing pretty much nothing. I loved going to work because at least I had interaction while there even if we didn't become friends outside of work. I love life not a good place for me to be..I have done all that I can to make life happening for us...With that we have been tearing each other apart every other day. There is no connection. He dosen't want to go and I am already out of here. As of yesterday it had to stop. No couple can go on hating one another. He will not admit to this but I know by his actions just how much he hated this situation and deep down inside me for not wanting to stay here. So not we are both living in a state of love and hate and hate was taking the lead.
My marriage is over. I am not saying anything to hurt him I am just stating the truth. I do not want to hurt him anymore and I no longer will tolerate him hurting me. I love him enough to let him go. I love me enough to leave. This is a harsh truth but it is what it is. One of us had to make the decision to stop the insanity. Since the decision a few things have happened that I knew would take a turn. Jeffrey took on an attitude of everything is good, she will change her mind she did before and has now for several months. He went about singing his songs and I was making plans in my head how to move back to Canada.
While Jeffrey was doing his thing I called my Brother and asked if he and I could share an apt together. He of course asked why and all I could tell him was that it was the end of the road. He knew exactly what I was saying. So with nothing more than a few minutes conversation I had established a home to go to.....Before long the singing stopped and reality was setting in. Again not to hurt him but he had to know that there wold come a time when I just wouldn't take it anymore.I am soft hearted and many have taken advantage of that. I am still soft hearted but I am not dumb. Love does not do what he has been doing to the both of us and our relationship has been very toxic.
Jeffrey has not been able to go where he wants to go with his life and I have certainly have done nothing with mine outside of blogging, surfing the net, watching television,watching my girlish figure.(LOL LOL LOL) etc. My fear was if I did not do this then neither of us would go anywhere nor do anything with our lives that we really wanted to do. I love to fly, Jeffrey does not, I love to go to amusement parks, Jeffrey does not, I love to have friends to hang out with, Jeffrey does not, I am a social butterfly,Jeffrey is a hermit.I am easy going and he is anal retentive, I fear very little, he has more fears than you can imagine. I take chances simply because for me life is an adventure. You win some you lose some.
I like to walk the middle ground. I can be very deep or just whacky. Jeffrey has one mood, Deep, Hell I just have to wake up and look around me and see all kinds of reasons to laugh., reasons to be thankful, reasons to love, I even see the joy in going to work. For me with love in your heart you can go anywhere and do anything. So what you got to go to work, most people do, That is how we sustain ourselves. The options always are if you don't like what you are doing then change it. If you do not have the academics to move out of where you are at then go back to school. Anyone can do this while they are at home on their personal computer. There is always a way when you really want to go for something. God gave us this amazing tool. It is up to us how we use it.....
God provided all that we could ever want or need. It is all right there right before our eyes. The thing is you must learn how to use the tools that he gives you, I am learning very well how to use those tools. We have not because we ask not, Myself personally I do not want to stagnate. I need to be in the flow of life. Things are changing all of the time and I change each day with it. Live dosen't stop just because we do. One need only to look back when we began going to school. It may not have seemed like it but each year was a new adventure in learning. We changed with every class we were ever involved in. We learned our A.B.C,s and how to count. Just a few years prior we couldn't do that. It is the same today regardless of how old we are. Each day there is something new going on for us to learn about. We can learn how to better ourselves. To achieve our dreams to not just sit back and think about them but actually get involved in making them happen. Who knows I might be a rocket scientist after all...LOL LOL LOL
God gave us the dream now what are we going to do with it? Each has one.....As for me I am going to follow it. The dream he has given me is full of life, love, peace and joy. I say yes. I am going to follow. Jeffrey has his dream and he needs to follow it.One can not nor should stand in the way of the dreams of others. If we do we become most miserable and make them most miserable. That is not love my friends...Oh yes here is something to think about. When we try to control others we truly can not live our own life. Our life will be consumed with all the angles of trying to control others thereby never living our own life. I'd rather be free. We were all born free nothing or anyone should control us. We are all intelligent people or we wouldn't be here on the net........
With that the good news is that we are leaving for Ohio at the end of the month. Jeffrey and me will take the road trip together. The bad news is when we get there I will be carrying on to Canada. My heart is pulled in two directions the one is to feel bad and delude myself again the other is to take the bull by the horns and go after it.....Hello world I am on my way back to life.......Now separation and divorce is never easy. We will both go through our trying times. We both must remember that this too shall pass and look at how we can make the best of our lives. Just maybe somewhere down the road we will meet again. Only this time if we both grow we will both be very different people. I am sure that we will both go through all of the transitions but we are not alone. We both have God who will guide and direct our steps, We have God who will give us the strength to overcome everything. We have God to trust in every moment, every step of the way. Now that is the good news....
So there you have it....I know in my heart that once I am settled again that I will be back here writing my heart out. Sharing with you all of the experiences that I am going through. I draw strength from all those that love me and I thank each one of you for your love. Do pray for Jeffrey that he will not suffer himself to much over this but find strength in the next phase of his life. He has much to much to do to not go for his dreams those things that make him happy. It just wasn't me.....
For now I will say good night. I will be back when I am able. I pray that all is well in your world. That everyone finds they key to their own happiness and goes for it......
