Here are this week’s prompts:
- Write a post based on the word rejection.
- Write a post in exactly 11 sentences.
- Tell us about the strangest situation you ever found yourself in.
- Talk about something you thought you’d never use when you were learning it, but that you use a lot since.
- If you could change the color of one thing, what would it be, and why?
- What have you done that you didn’t like, but would you be willing to give it another shot?
True love, true strife
Thirty long years or something like that
Love was just thrown right away
Rejected for spite or hatred or both
For my actions I honestly displayed.
It was a trick of the trade, a treat it was not
It was cruelty right to its core
For rekindled love was nothing but a farce
and the breakup was worse than before.
I tell of this love with truth and with ire
as I wonder how mean he could be
To take me back into his arms with such love
when it was fake to see if he’d hurt me.

That was my boyfriend who I was so in love with. For the past 30 years, and I am not exaggerating, I have dreamt of him over and over again and in each dream he always either breaks up with me or doesn’t show up. I’ve gone through therapy about it and openly talk about it but for some reason it still haunts me.

Ouch! I hope the dream finally ends (though it sounds more like a nightmare of rejection and abandonment)!

I almost have to laugh now. I have no idea why I continued to have these dreams and it’s ridiculous. I understand why I had them. I understand what they’re about and isn’t that supposed to stop the inner turmoil that goes on on your mind and makes you have dreams?

The mind is a complicated thing! My recurring dream is about crows… I think yours might be less violent than mine!

evil crows? Whenever I am really under a lot of stress I dream that I am going back to my waitressing job, like its my first day, and the whole shift is like a shit-storm. All I have to do is tell David I was “waitressing” last night and he knows I had a rough night.

The crows were a stress symptom too but they weren’t completely awful – just menacing…

crows are so smart and from what I know, harmless, but they are sort of frightening.

Whenever I see or hear them in my yard I always wish I had brought something shiny out for one of them. I want to see if they will take it and bring something else back.

We were working on a “crow army” before we moved. They were very suspicious of Mochi so wouldn’t come visit but instead would hang out in the walnut trees. Once we went inside they’d come down to check what we left for them…

I’m moving and I want to do that when I move! Start right from the beginning so they get to know me.
