signs to flirt by

In my thoughts it's as if I'm living life in a third person narrative, collecting notes for a later time. It's a solitary life that leads to monologues resembling crazy in the light of the day.

I'm quite aware of time passing, and how my time is not my own right now. I knew having a puppy would require discipline and being home, but I didn't imagine this. Suddenly I have places I'd like to go like the gym, which is ridiculous. If you know me, you know the last place I crave is the gym.

With less time, I become more productive. Not necessarily in ways  that count towards less stress, (like cooking and laundry), but I've been more focused on discovering what my path will be.

And despite my obvious skepticism, there were 3 signs yesterday, that pointed me towards a goal,(if I'd even call it that), I've been flirting with. 

It's an idea that has come full circle, one that looks very different than it did three years ago. Cryptic I am, and vague are the details, but I feel clear headed and prepared that this is the time. I know this time will be different because I am. I'm grateful for all that has transpired to this point, (here I go again professing against my own declarations), because I feel strong and certain, not lost and powerless.

The beginning of this year found me exploring the truth planted in front of my face, illuminating the ways I'd deluded myself on half-baked truths.

Even though I'm comfortable being alone, I discovered a need to  establish a stronger relationship with myself. I'm learning to accept that my feelings of loneliness can be empowering once I let myself be swept along for the ride. 

I've learned that on the other side of it all there is clarity and I believe that this new tenderness will guide me.
