“There is a luggage limit for every passenger on a flight. The same rules apply to your life. You must eliminate some baggage before you can fly.”
I found this in a blog this morning. It was just two days ago my bestie, AB1 and I discussed the topic of baggage.
After every relationship, you walk out with a ton of baggage. Do you carry the same baggage into the next relationship? Does the next relationship stand a chance at all, when it is weighed down so much from the beginning.
When Roland and I first got together, I told him of my insecurities. He knew of my baggage as we had been friends for a while before I put the spell on him charmed him with my personality. I told him that I had my baggage and I was working on them. I did not expect him to deal with my baggage, it was not fair to him. However, I told him that I hoped for his understanding and patience while I worked on them.
He stood by me, as I dealt with my issues. Always watching and ready to offer a shoulder, an ear at the slightest indication that I needed his help. We talked, we discussed, we shared. Even when I did not make sense, he understood.
We have come a long way. We haven't reached our destination. YET.
But the flight is definitely getting smoother.

That's true about the luggage limit, that's why we need family or friends around - just in case we need to unload!
Yes, friends and family play a very important role when you are down and out. You take them for granted until a day comes when you need them and they are there for you, no questions asked.
You are blessed when you have great family and friends.
good post. i have been thinking about this for a bit but havent had time to really put it in words. i notice my red alert keeps triggering quite a bit these days and i wonder if i am just running scared because of what happened or if the alarm is real...
Experiences can be good and bad. Good because you are wiser, but bad because it makes you more cynical.
Listen to the alarm first, question, examine, challenge, probe.. when all questions are answered, then you proceed (or abandon). If the alarm is still ringing, run, babe, run!
If after all the examination, the guy is still around, he's yours. If not, he never was.
Agree. Big had to be my baggage handler. Though he had to be one of the worst ones around - practically burnt some of my baggages. :P
LOL One of the indicators of a good man, one who can handle our baggages, and girl, you know we have lots!
