Is probably my favorite blog. I like real people that say real things about real situations. The author is a good friend of mine.. OK fine she's my bffl. My favorite extracts are here. Another smart girl. http://tilldivorcedoesuspart.blogspot.com/
On seeing your ex again, post divorce:
"In any case, as much as the experience was daunting, and having him in my space again was even more terrifying, all in all, I think after nearly 10 months of Cape Flats wars, we got along pretty well. I even think the word civilised would be in order here. I realised that maybe underneath all those smelly, eye burning onion layers there might actually be a person I could greet again with sincerity. - After all, he is the father of my child - Still respect is something one earns, and perhaps in due time it can be mended.
Then again, to pick up broken fragments and try to glue them together, never takes away the cracks. Perhaps just leave it as it is and remember it for what it was."
On wisdom
"My biggest problem in life is – People change, and forget to tell each other..."
On Prince Charming
"Be sensitive
Love her unconditionally, just the way she is
Surprise her occasionally
Take out the trash
Encourage her/support her
Kiss her unexpectedly
Hold her hand
Always lie when the question “do I look fat in this” get proposed.
Laugh at her lame jokes
Just pretend to like “Gossip Girl”
Ask directions
Take the kids out on a Saturday, while she stays at home with a good read.
Praise her cooking
Just listen
Love her a lot and don't try to understand her at all.
See her imperfections, perfectly"
On loneliness
"By becoming transparent to the world, we feel protected, safe, untouchable.
However, this might work for animals, but in the long run, humans cant really survive this way. Its like playing hide and seek with no one seeking. Good luck.
No one can rescue you, you have to rescue yourself. You can choose to drown or hold your breath for a couple of seconds and revive yourself....ask yourself.....
What have you got to lose?"
