There comes a time when one ponders….
their own trees…

This has been such a time….

The Giving Tree is a wonderful story and shows that life is not a simple matter of just black and white. I still feel sorry for the tree though.

I can’t read The Giving Tree. It reminds me too much of my mother and makes me cry and cry and cry.

there are miles of things you don’t know. they are not my things to tell. i made a choice to acknowledge the things and not let them affect me and take what i can get at the moment and if he decides i am worthy then so be it and if he decides i am unworthy then so be it. i will not compare myself to the ones who went before, i will not compare him to the ones who went before. i will not overshoot my headlights.

By the way;

1) You are not the tree, nor the boy.

2) We (your readers) are not the tree, nor the boy.

3) TTHM is not the tree, nor the boy.

Now rent a video, watch it while the TTHM is sitting and you’re laying across him, head on his leg, your arms around him, and look up at him and realize that you can trust a guy to be gentle with your feelings. Then smile smugly to your self and know that it’s not REALLY a date…

It’s a whole relationship unfolding…
