February has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I wish that I could say that I rocked it out this month and everything went well. I didn’t and it didn’t. The good thing is I am not discouraged or negative about the results. I am aware that sometimes things don’t go as planned and we need to readjusted and continue to pursue our goals. That is where I am on this first day of March. I will narrow down what goals I can accomplish this month and make it happen. I believe that I can still achieve them all by the end of the year. And that is what is most important.
I usually have a terrible time committing to anything on Netflix. My life fear of commitment to relationships transfers over to my Netflix and chill streaming relationship. Or Hulu and chill. I just don’t want to be two episodes in and decide I don’t like the show. Now I have just wasted 2 hours of my life. So it is a surprise that I am almost done with a show. My friend told me about this new dating show called Love Is Blind on Netflix. There is a male side and a female side. They go into these little rooms called pods with a piece of colored glass separating them. They cannot see each other at all. Based on the emotional connections that they make with each other the man proposes, or the woman if you like, to the person on the other side. Now they still have not seen each other. Once the proposal has been made they do this big reveal. The couples then go on a vacation together, move in and ultimately have a wedding. All in about 40 days or so. Very interesting concept.
If I had been approached about this, I would have said yes. I am so shallow! I don’t think that looks are everything but I believe they do play too big of a part in an attraction for me. If I am not immediately attracted to a man, there is a slim chance that he will grow on me with his personality and great qualities. I have already friend zoned him in my mind. I know that is terrible. I have tried dating websites and I swipe left on looks even without reading their profile. Now in my defense, if a man is attractive and he doesn’t believe in God, I am swiping left on him as well. My man doesn’t have to look like a Brad Pitt or Idris Elba, but I do need to find him attractive. But maybe if I was presented with a great personality, funny, open and considerate man without seeing him first, I would be okay. Wonder if they are going to have a season 2?
March is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness month. Besides this post, all other post will be dedicated to MS. There are new things going on and I would like to share it with you all. If you know me, I am not a sad person even though I have MS but I do speak my truth. I will tell you if all is not well. Nothing I say in relation to MS is to get pity or sympathy. It is just to inform. I didn’t truly know what Multiple Sclerosis was until I discovered I had it. And most people don’t know until I share my story. So I am willing to share to inform.
As this year keeps moving by so quickly, I just hope that no one loses sight of the excitement that you had when this year started. It is still the beginning and each new day brings its own set of possibilities. A lady was approached in a subway terminal and asked to complete the lyrics. This one little incident on the way to meet a friend for lunch changed her life. She has went on Ellen and sang for millions of people watching TV, on YouTube and Instagram. Why can’t our lives change just that suddenly? I believe that it can. So please don’t give up. Even if it seems as if you have been fighting the same fight for years. It has an end date. Continue to be well and whole.
