TAKING ON THE WORLD

So I have been taking on the world lately, its been about a month………….I’m really still getting the hang of this. My life has been a test somewhat lately, but its all working out now. I have to have reconstructive surgery on my ankle, I’m a little scared. I think I’m more scared of my good buddy depression coming to hang out with me on the couch when I’m immobile…….but none of this is what’s on my mind right now.

I’m preparing a lesson for middle/high school girls about EMOTIONAL AFFAIRS. This is something that is huge, this is something that gets awareness but is never addressed or avoided. I had an emotional affair, well it was physical too but the emotional weight beats out the physical in this situation. And as I still struggle with my heart- struggle is the wrong word….its more like BATTLE the demons his love, and lack there of, is throwing at me. Regardless, my heart is going out to all the girls in the world and I want to help.

So why am I writing this instead of helping…….easy. I was googling :) Google and I, we’re pretty much best friends. I’d like to think Google is a boy because it kind of sounds manly…..kind of. So Google and I are looking for sources on Emotional Affairs, quotes…..bible verses…..witty phrases. And you know what? It does not exist out there for teens! It’s all about marriage and couples and significant others. What happened to words like “boyfriend” and “that guy I have a crush on….” (okay more of a phrase but you’re not that picky are you?). This stuff isn’t even being addressed until we’ve already doomed our selves in the marriage where we promised to love, HONOR, and cherish our McDreamy. RIDICULOUSSSSSS. Really, are we doing anything to help our girls….or are we dashing all their hopes now…….
