I am soooo frustrated!
what does a cactus have to do to find love around here?
i paint my nails red
get cute little flippy bangs
and i'm still told i'm too prickly
or some shit about being too tall
or not tall enough
i guess it is my fate to stand here
deserted in the desert
silently
suffereing
saguaro
sadness

I met a cactus named Sheila on a walk. We have a lot in common.

So true for so many...
Maybe for everyone...
I think seeing the beauty
in our current circumstance is the main thing, in all things...
Maybe...
Specifically with dating and such...
There are many good things to being alone...
Especially these days...

Dont you know that cactus is full of liquid and lively, a haven for the wanderer to rest and the tired birds to quench, you hide mellow fruits and you are a celestial haven in the most stark desert,,

CW, I agree, but as a society we are, for the most part, moving further and further away from that. I appreciate your thoughts.

I'm pretty sure we've all felt somewhat like this a time or a dozen. Lol.
It never gets simpler, does it?
Or, does it?
If anything, it seems like an easy going, even whimsical, humor catches an interest more than any attempt at physical attraction does. If you're looking for substantial impact.
That is what carries us through the crappy times. We make our own glitter. And I'm man enough to dance under it without shame! Lol.
When we stop looking, and pause, it gives others time to look at who we really are. And allows them time to decide if it's worth stepping forward.
I love your write! And put a blouse on at least! Don't give away too much, too soon! Lol

Styx, thanks for the RL and cool comments. No, it doesn't get simpler, but then again I'm just whining about wanting to find someone and not even doing anything about it. I haven't even been in a hair salon for seven months, which is a lifetime record. Playing basketball like crazy though. And starting to get out more. Thanks again. Always love hearing from you.
