Things don't look too good right now. Well, I guess that depends on what side you're one. I remember in my last relationship, I learned about the battle that the celebration of Cinco de Mayo was based on. In America, we think that was when Mexico won its freedom. Not so. It was actually a major battle that was won. However, because of the expenditure of men and resources, the battle was won, but it cost the war.
Sometimes, being right is most important. I understand that. I understand that right now, my boyfriend needs to be right. What hurts so much is that his need to be right negates my need to be understood. I don't care if he is right or wrong. I need to be understood; to be important to him.
I remember when my mother talked to me about the men she dated after my dad died. She told me there was one man who was very nice, and very sweet but, as she said just "didn't get it." I didn't understand what she meant.
I mean, if someone is nice to you, isn't that enough. Now I know. Now I realize I could be anyone in his life. Someone else could come along with similar qualifications as me, and that would be fine with him.
I don't want to be a replaceable part. I want to be the one. I want to be important to one person, and if that person is not someone else, then that person is me.
