"Romeo & Juliet" - The Prologue


So you have read the start of how "Romeo and Juliet" met.  And from the messages I have received through Facebook, I gather you want to hear more about how these two end up.

I would like to warn you that this is not a story for the faint-hearted.  Especially, if you have found yourself, in our shoes.  Some of you might be gravely concerned that I might be setting myself up to be judged, but this is however, a risk that I am prepared to take in the hope that, together we will realise that we cannot always control the journey of life we find ourselves on.  

For the sake of confidentiality I have chosen not to mention the name of the person who has made an enormous impact on my life and who probably does not realise that he has, because of the situation he finds himself in.

I never thought that I would find myself breaking all the rules in my book of morals, and frowned upon those who did, until I found myself in similar shoes.

Contrary to what is said or heard about me, I have always tried to tow the line in terms of doing the right thing.

And so, like many tragic romances, this story brings with it joy, sadness, confusion, mistrust, and sacrifice.

I hope you will be open to understanding the complexities of love.  I am hoping to do the same, as it is not as straightforward as it sometimes seems.


Love is definitely not a potion to take with a pinch salt and a slice of lemon.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I am busy burning bridges I am busy building bridges I am busy reconstructing bridges I am, I am... I am so sick of I am! So I have decided to use this space to tell your stories. If you have a story to tell that can help change someone else's life then I would like to spend some time with you on the couch (whether in person or by cyber) getting to know your story and then sharing it with the rest of the world. As you know the world is an extremely small place, and so if you would like to stay anonymous you are most welcome to do so. I look forward to hearing from.

Coming out of the Closet

I have decided that it is time to just face up to it, that there is just no two ways about who and what I am.    It was the morning of Sunday the 22 June 2014 and I was all excited about heading out with my Keep On Moving partners, Zita and her mother Sandy to pick up some youngsters from Valhalla Park for our monthly hike, when I was faced with a flat tyre after loading the car with my bags.  At first I thought, do I fix this myself or do I call a friend (male), to come and do the job, then I decided against that idea, and just unloaded the car and pulled out the jack and the spare tyre. It was not the first time having to change a tyre and it probably would not be the last, but today was not a good day to be doing this, as I was not feeling 100% while trying to recover from the flu.  My energy levels were not up to the task at hand.  Nonetheless with the last of the energy I had left in me I managed to cha...

Welcome to 2014

So I made it pass the midnight hour in one piece. I welcomed the arrival of the New Year by myself on the couch and then slowly dozed off and awoke to a quiet world.   I guess all the party-goers are still in dreamland. It has been a while since I blogged anything and I feel a bit at a loss for words even though there is so much I would like to say. 2013 has come and gone and although it was emotionally challenging, I somehow feel a lot stronger than the year before that.  The challenge I now face is letting go and to concentrate on me, because the only person in this point in time who finds me important, is me.  Sure I have friends who are looking out for my well-being but they are not the ones having to walk in my shoes (when they are not broken) everyday.  They have their own lives to live. Every year we make a list of our new year’s resolutions and every year most of us still repeat the same things we were hoping to change or let go of.  I hope ...
