Wow. I hadn't written anything for this in almost a year. A lot has happened in a year. Things I really don't care to discuss at the present moment, but hey, I'll tell ya about it later.
Today, I'm most interesting in talking about separating fact from fiction. For the past seven (yes seven) days, I've been engrossed into the lives of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, the main characters of the New York Times bestsellers Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed. This trilogy of books literally jumped off the pages and into my soul. Yes, that does sound extreme, but anytime I finish a book and get sad that I don't have more to read means, I'm in too deep. What made me fall in love with this book is Christian Grey, Mr. Fifty himself. Of course the book describes him as hot, and very sexy, but I think the fact that he's "fifty shades of fucked up" is what turns me on to him. I would love to tell you more about him and his fifty shades, but you might want to read for yourself, and well, I'll just be ruining it. I got so attached to these three books, that whenever I told people about them, I immediately regretted it. I felt like I was sharing the man in the book with women, I didn't want to know him. Sounds a little psychotic huh? I plead the fifth. It took a friggin someecard to slap me in the face:
Well, hell. I know he's not real, but it feels like it to me. LOL! This made me think, am I this clueless when it comes to the relationships I put myself in. Am I so busy seeing my "Christian Grey" that I miss the asshole/liar/inconsiderate prick that I'm really dating? After recently being single, I've sat back and thought long and hard about this. I've finally come to terms with REALITY and I'm allowing myself to see what's really there. But first, I've got to search me. I've got to make sure that the me that I'm turning out to be is the me that I'm proud of and my daughter can be proud of. So since we know the world is not black and white, and neither is love...I'll continue to live in the GREY!
