I have to keep reminding myself of this, because I keep finding myself limiting myself! I can’t have dinner out because I have company coming – so I guess only one fun thing a night!? And I just ate out the past two nights – so I guess there’s a limit on how much I can go out. “Spread it out” I tell myself. “What the fuck does that mean?” I tell myself back. ‘Spread it out’, so it’s limited then? I know I’ll never be satisfied within a limited idea. Here’s just another one to be rid of.
I think this limited way of thinking is even worse – it becomes a limited way of doing. “You attract what you think about,” I read on Twitter recently, “Not what you want, but what you think about.” Wowz, that’s hit me. I’ll attract limited now. Great. Which it felt like I had attracted today. I feel a bit like I spent part of the afternoon with someone who was repeatedly letting me know in a few different ways, that he’s not available.
I’m never really sure what to do with this information. I could pull a Meg Ryan in Joe vs. the Volcano, “I have no response to that.” I would like to at least get to the point where I don’t react to it. I did start to detach, but then felt bad, re-engaged, and then just ended up pissed. It felt like it was a no-win any way that I played it. Maybe it was a win. Gavin and Emily came over and now I’m chillin and writing; grateful for how it ended up at least – so I must be on the other side of the miracle.
