I am thrilled to report out that I am still feeling a bit more sexual. I want to have sex, not with anyone in particular but I just want to have sex. Now I dont want to have all day long sex but sex is something I am thinking about. It feels good to have this sustained desire to fuck. I am starting to feel just a little bit more like myself.
Now there is also this strange desire to maybe seek out a relationship with a man. I want just a little bit of companionship. I dont know what that looks like in terms of a relationship but I want something I think. I dont know. As I typed that I thought maybe I dont. Ugh. It is hard to figure out.
I have been thinking about the guy (I think I blogged about) that asked me out and then last minute wanted to "stay home and vibe" which essentially was like I want to lay in bed and fuck. That kind of prolonged time laying in bed with a man sounds really unappealing. I have too much to do and a desire to be productive to lay around and fuck for hours on end. But I think it is weird he never reached back out to me after that. That was his 2nd strike and I dont think I would entertain his conversations anymore anyway but why did he not try? Why did he make such a big deal about going out and then change plans last minute and then just gone. It is not that I am upset but I am confused by his behavior, that is the part I have have very little tolerance for. I dont need that kind of dumb shit in my life.
So year in review. I managed to have sex 3 times year (I think), which would be a lifetime low for me! I have made the most money of life this year, which has been stress relieving for me. I lost a good friend. My kids have struggled a little more than I would have thought and my parenting skills were tested. Unconditional love was something I had to prove I was capable of and for the first time in my parenting journey I had to admit defeat. I took my first real vacation for the first time in 12 years.
At the new year I dont like to make too many goals and set myself up for feeling like a failure but there are things I want to be more intentional about. The first one is expanding my life to accommodate a companion for myself. Maybe its a dog, maybe its a woman, maybe it is a man. Idk but I want to keep an open mind of letting someone in. I want to be intentional about having fun with my kids. By design I am not a fun person. I just am so low key and casual and generally do not enjoy holidays and special events. However it is crucial to me that my kids have fun memories. So I try to be mindful of the tone and feel of our home. I want it to be peaceful and full of laughter and I want there to be things that they remember as being fun. And I continue on my financial journey and I hope to resolve all my debt this year (minus the mortgage and car). Most of all I just want to feel calm stillness in my life with minimal complications and highlights of fun with the kids.
