lets get away.

I have been doing a lot of thinking this weekend, especially today.  With today being Valentines Day or to me – Single Awareness Day, it brought up a past.  The other day, I had a dream about my ex-boyfriend.  I don’t know why because he haven’t been on my mind at all.  Then last night, while I was on facebook, I get this notification that he sent me a “heart”.  I knew what it was for.  He is the type of person who doesn’t do any of those applications on facebook but he sent me a heart as a way of wishing me a Happy Valentines Day.  He did something like that on my birthday.   We do not keep in touch so these little things is letting me know he thinks about me which I think it is very thoughtful.   Even though I know we don’t have a future together but just him doing this stuff just makes me think that our six year on and off relationship wasn’t anything…it had some type of impact to him.

With that being said, he is the last person I thought I would hear from.  The people I expected to hear from….of course I didn’t.  The ones I least expect to, I heard from.  I honestly can care less about this day…I never cared for this day since middle school.  Even when I had a boyfriend, it wasn’t a big deal.  But with that being said, it makes me wonder about the people who are in my life.  My friends are wonderful – I’m talking about the guy or guys who were potential dating material.  If my own ex can acknowledge this day towards me and we are not on a talking basis, then I would expect the ones who I’m on a talking basis with to acknowledge it. 

Today, I was out in my car and listening to one of the playlist on my iPod that I have and most of the songs that were playing reminded me of the times with my ex.  I always thought we had these terrible times but this reminded me that there were some good times in our relationship.  Even though I would not get back into a relationship with him now, dealing with the past and present guys just made me realize what I really want.  I was thinking at one point these present guys were what I needed but now I came to the realization that they are not.

oh baby.

Today, my baby sister brought another life in the world today.  She welcomed her second child, a healthy 6lb 12 oz baby boy, Jerry IV.  I’m so proud of my little sister on how much she accomplished in her 23 years of life.  I was at the hospital the whole time and I couldn’t help but have tears of joy there but at one point of my day, I was reminded of a past  I didn’t want to think about.

I don’t know why this popped in my head but I was standing outside the room with my mom while the nurse was doing a routine check on my sister when the thought of my ex, who recently became a father, popped in my head with the thought of him being at this same hospital when his significant other was giving birth and the joy he felt because he always talked about wanting to be a father.   I kept thinking about how I could have been the one instead of the other girl but I’m glad it didn’t.

Soon that thought came out of my head once the baby was born.  I was letting all of my friends know when I decided to let someone know who I have been trying to keep my distance from.  The subject of some of my earlier posts.  I had actually removed his number from my phone last week so I can try to continue with my life and not be subject to text him but he had sent me a text this morning and I knew it was him so I told him the news about my nephew.  I quickly erased the text that was sent to him so I wouldn’t be tempted to save the number in my phone again and deleted and didn’t reply to his msg that he sent back.  So I figured that would be the end of that when a few hours later, I received a text saying “So when are you going to have one?”.  So we ended up talking about that but it brought up deeper issues regarding a baby that I have been trying to suppressed.

There’s been issues in the past that I have dealt with regarding a baby and my ex and it is so deep that no one really know about it.  When I get reminded and/or think about it, it really puts me in a sad mood.  If you ask me when I’m going to have a baby – I will tell you that I don’t want one especially at this time of my life.  However, I think a part of me deep down want to experience motherhood.  But with the past and the present now – with all the issues I have dealt with, I don’t know if I want that in my future.

But anyways, if it never makes it to my future, I have a wonderful niece and nephew to fill that void.
