Everything I wanted... And then some

Yesterday was a very strange day with lots of mixed emotions. It's only saving grace was seeing the porcupine again. We were extremely flirtatious with each other but the banter, the chat, it was all very comforting. He was exactly what I needed to lift my spirits. One day, I'd like to return the favor of being a comforting presence for him as he was for me when I needed it.

I realize today that by picking up the phone, everything I wanted seven days ago was ripe for the taking. However, I also found that I no longer wanted the same things as before and that what I had previously desired would have hurt me more and took me longer to heal. It was a painful learning process but I believe my Gods had their own reasons for such. He came crawling back with a million apologies and even more promises but the fact is, none of it matters anymore. I am at peace with my mistake. In the end, I came through with a clearer mind, gained a priceless friend and lost a piece of naivety I never knew I had. Such is life at it's best...
