I have been on three dates with someone, tasting sex again for the first time in a long while and its like Pandora's Box has opened. Now I am almost lamenting it, knowing he is dating others, knowing I can't separate my mind from my body (I too love sex) and that I am doing the equivalent of driving headlong into a brick wall. It IS tiring orchestrating this stuff. Life was duller, but quieter before I ripped off the bandaid. Is it a journey or a roller coaster ride I wonder? I too related to your post.

I know I have felt all the same things you wrote about - and it comes and goes. Enjoying the journey isn't always easy, is it? I think we’ve all been where you are at some point.

That's coming from a mama who's in the middle of quite a journey, and a bit pooped at the moment. You're doing an amazing job. It is about the journey, isn’t it?….

(smile) I know what you mean, though, about being tired of having to orchestrate quality time, intimate or not, with someone you care for. As for housework, I usually crank some U2 or something I can sing along to. Then I'm not alone folding laundry - Bono is doing it with me! I'm sure however you reinvent your blog will be splendid - I enjoy reading you. I’m never too tired to orchestrate a booty call!

I've also been 'surrendering to the exhaustion' of dating, etc, and have been throwing myself head-first into my various writing/art projects. Good for you... I agree, that it IS all about the journey!! Wow- I felt like I was just reading my own story.

I am honored to be watching it unfold and to share in the tiny bits that I am able to. Remember, you are in the perfect place at the perfect time. This is contrast and is giving you so much insight into what you DO want. We don't always have to know the hows or the whys, our only obligation is to trust. You are walking in beauty and light. Keep that alive and trust yourself. Your journey, my dear, is beautiful and wonderful. I am honored to be watching it unfold and to share in the tiny bits that I am able to.

I am in the same place with my blog that you are with yours which is why I also have not written much. I am trying to reinvent too, because I no longer write about my dating life/relationship stuff either. Partly for privacy for my main squeeze, and partly because my dating life has gotten too complicated and left of center to share on The Silent K. It is funny to see T up there say the same thing though I think she is referring to the single aspect, not the blogging part. Anyway, I do miss your writing, but mostly I am just happy to hear that you're channeling your energy into activism and art. Keep connected. K Hi Leah,

We're on such the same wavelength! In my latest post, I wrote about how some things in life are just easier and more fun with two people. It becomes glaringly obvious when you're struggling, physically and emotionally. And in my previous post, I wrote about how I miss the sex too. I miss the physical touch of another but I won't do anything to go out and force it to happen. I'm with you, I suppose, in a state of somewhat-chosen celibacy. But yes, I do agree that it is in our nature to not be satisfied. We have to enjoy the journey... and the end result will be the icing on the cake. Glad to see you blogging again. Missed ya girl. I so could’ve written this post.
