mystical men, white horses, knights perhaps. but then i presume the list goes on. i have been trying to find some answers for a while. and given my perspective on life. i don't believe in fairy tales. mainly cause i believe we don't live in the paradise of fairy tales. we don't meet people with angelic love and kindness inside. and the softness that one can only yearn to touch. all the best with your search. i hope you find it soon.

Dear Cindy,

Its been 2 nights and I have abandoned Richard Dawkins to read you. :-) While it isn't the highest honor,(wasn't Hemmingway or Harper Lee), it nevertheless took my surprise.

I recently got back to blogging after a years' sabbatical and currently am yet getting in the groove. A huge motivation for me is reading real-life stories(autobiographies? diaries?) that most people's blogs become. I just turned 30 in Nov and its been, well, you know...yada yada.:-)

I want to thank you for doing such a great job in every day life and making the effort to be. And a bigger thank you for sharing these stories and struggles. My writing is yet amateur and extremely personal and I look forward to honing it. So if you check me out, that's that!:-)

May I add you to my blog roll? :-) It'll be a pleasure to make it my staple diet.
Love, Zubbi

Along with shunning the vanilla lifestyle and thus taking the road less traveled comes uncertainty. I think they walk hand-in-hand and are part of the deal; whether you choose to see it as a blessing or curse depends on your outlook.

I've always applauded you for your willingness to step out on that ledge and peer over, with no promise of what lies beyond. Although it can be unnerving at times, I think you seek out unknowns like an adreneline junkie looks for their next fix.

With great courage comes great reward. I know you'll find what you're looking for, I really do. But I also think that once you do find it you'll continue searching for the greatness that life holds. You're full of passion and child-like wonder, and it endlessly inspires me.

That's what I see in you.

plain and simple... you follow your heart. everything you want, your heart tells you. it will also drag you through some tough times... only to prepare you for what is waiting on the the other side. the heart can make you break down in sadness and also break down with complete joy. you are on your road Cindy... breathe and follow. :)

and also, i'm very mystical-ish. eh? lame.

I think Lawrence's premise is only partially right. Marriage or life-long partnership does not have to mean you give up who you are. You need look no further than my wife and I, who after two kids and a third on the way, are still expressing and discovering. White picket fence? How about urban living in Washington DC, Central London, and now Coral Gables FL (Downtown CG, too, right by Miracle Mile). We're launching our own business now, too, at the expense of an "easy life" as an employee.

Here's my point: Life is what you make of it. You don't have to fit into any molds, and you don't have to settle for anything less than what you want. Go out and get what you want and make the world smile along the way, because the smiles you'll get back are sweet.

I can relate to your post on so many levels. I think what you went through is what my my ex-wife is going through now. I think she was afraid of the vanilla life. I think she feared her future and didn't see one with me. I think she heard the "call of the wild" and resisted for as long as she could. It is then that she became self aware. I'm not going to lie I was content with the vanilla life. It was through my wife's realization that I had my epiphany. It hurts like hell still. I hope to see her be all that she wanted to be. I have all confidence in her ability to achieve her goals. I don't fault her decision to leave me as much as the method in which she did. She too now waits for her mystical man who will speek to her in prose and sweep her off her feet.
