Glory Box

"I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long..."

I was googling to find the year this song came out and came upon some pretty interesting information about this song. I thought "Glory Box" might have been a term for a vagina, however it's actually an Australian term for a piece of furniture that hold items of clothing and items preparing for marriage. Nice little factoid for you!

Anyway....I wish I really listened to the lyrics of this song back in 94! I was sweet 16 and just starting my journey of love. I sometimes wish I could go back and warn young Lizzie Grigio of the errors she's about to make. I doubt she'd listen though....

I've been thinking about my past a lot lately and I wonder what my life would be like if things were different. Not in the sense of feeling bad, but purely out of curiosity. I am a firm believer in 'everything happens for a reason.' And out of all things that have gone wrong in my life, I can't ever say that I regret they happened because, if anything, I learned HUGE lessons from them. For example, I was supposed to marry PDA...so I could learn that I had OCD and answer a bunch of questions about my life. I also learned that not all people are genuine and intimacy is NOT a public affair. I also was supposed to date PA so I could learn to love again and realize I shouldn't settle for anything less than what I want. Maybe I can even say all those men who sent dirty pics were supposed to do that in order for me to learn self respect.

So what would my life be like if, just for fun, I was happily married? Where would I be? How many kids would I have popped out by now? With all these thoughts I shudder a bit. Because it means I'd have missed out on so many things by now. Most of the people I speak of on here became close to me AFTER my divorce. I wouldn't have all these wonderful people to enjoy life with.

Short blog today, I know. I've had this blog in my head for a couple days now and wanted to get it out of my head before the weekend. I hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day and remember why we celebrate it. It not so Americans can have one last wa-hoo BBQ before the summer ends. It's to honor all of us who work hard to make a living.

One more thing...I'm starting to get a bit of a fan base here and I'd love to know who you are! If you're following my blog, I'd love to here about you and your relationship experiences too! Last month I had over 400 readers!!!!! Some from other countries! I could really get some great ideas for future blogs just by hearing from you! So please....let me know you're out there!!! :)
