it's funny how....

It's funny how decisions we make in our past can resurface only to cause or raise questions from another party. It's those same decisions we make in our past that we never think will impact us in the future, unless, it's a life changing decision, but then we all know how those end up impacting us.

It's funny how names and faces and people from our past can resurface only to make our lives either better, more enjoyable, more meaningful simply because we knew them when and now we know them now. Or it's those names, faces, people from our past who can resurface only to cause pain, heartache, anxiety, and defeat.

It's funny how we can go almost a decade without so much as a thought about a person from our past but when we come in contact with that person again it's like that person never changed or left.

It's funny how someone with so much potential and their life can just let it go to waste just like that.

It's funny how someone we care so little about can be the person who hurts us the most. It's that same person that brought us so much joy at one point in our life and then just turns around and brings so much pain.

It's funny how relationships work. It's even more funny how relationships work between a man and a woman when children are involved. Once what was getting all dressed up and all primped to hit the clubs as a means to break the ice and get to know each other is replaced with dressing up in a pair of cotton shorts and a T-shirt and going to the grocery store on a Friday night.

It's funny how quickly friendships change and, for some, fade. Once what was a close friend who we trusted is now nothing more than an acquaintance of whom we see on a not-so-regular basis.

It's funny how easy it is to sit here and write exactly what we feel but when we are asked close, personal, or even intimate questions the answer always seems to be "I don't know." No, I do know. I know the answer to what I look for in a guy. I know the answer to what I want out of life. So, when it is verbalized can I not get the answer out?

It's funny how I try to blog on a regular basis but I still have shared it with only a few people. I'm not ashamed of what I write. I'm not embarrassed by what I write. So why can't I just share this with even more people?
