Answers to questions

Because I don't feel like my usual blogging self I will simply answer the questions posed in my previous post by my dear Emily.

The insight I gained is a bit skewed. I thought it was one thing when I originally wrote the blog ... but now it is another. My insight is that I do not belong where I am ... I need something more to sustain my own personal well being. Don't get me wrong, I love certain aspects of my life, but one thing is for certain ... I will never find true love here in this little coastal paradise. Because, let's face it, this is a paradise for those already in love ... not for those seeking it.

The new friend: Is not promising. He was a facade. It took a couple of weeks but I found that he, much like many other's I have met here, are not what they market themselves to be. The sad part is that I fell for his alter ego once before and I foolishly allowed myself to believe that this person transformed into a new, honest individual. But just like all the rest, he played me for the hopeless romantic I am and left me out to dry in the same exact manner he did the last time. Well, almost. At least before he had the tenacity to actually tell me. This time I received an e-mail. A "Thanks for playing but I think I'll go with option B" e-mail. So, my dear Emily, it seems as though I spoke too soon in the prior blog. I held onto hope with no payoff.

So I leave you with these questions:
How many times does one need to have their heart broken before they give up on the concept completely?
When do you know where you truly belong?
Who do you trust?

And once again I will quote Nietzche for this "important friend":
"I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you”
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Until next time.
