We're all familiar with the GEICO commercials. But the one that really stands out is where the CEO is talking to the little gecko about trust. He then proceeds to want to do the famous 'trust' exercise where you fall backwards and have a person stand behind you to catch you as you fall. In theory this should work, but just like communism it looks great on paper......
I thought about this as I was listening to my BFF yesterday tell me about a REALLY bad experience she had that afternoon which involved a man. As she sobbed on the phone my heart went out to her. I so wanted to have the power to make all the hurt and pain she was feeling go away.....and really for about the gazzillionth time in my life I wished I either had a Magic Wand or knew Mafia.....I know how she feels; I, too, have just gone thru major hurt, rejection and heartache within the past 3 months. Every question she had I also had: why did we do what we did; why did we say what we said; why did we give our love and trust to someone only to have it thrown back in our faces?
BFF is now gun-shy about future relationships; she feels she'll be unable to trust again. I agreed with her, but there will come a time when both of us will get over our respective rejections and we will heal. Hearts are like that, they may feel like they're breaking, but in actuality they are just becoming stronger.....
Don't worry girlfriend.....when the time comes I'll be right behind you, just like that little gecko......
