Be True

You know… even though you kind a have a phobia of arrogance, there is something about your personality that you really do appreciate.

It’s mirrored in your work ethic – being laid-back, casual; easy going, You’re not particularly prone to driving have a long into crazy levels of stress or sadly building towards doing more with your life. Things would be different if you had a family to provide for, but when it’s just you… it’s alright. Just find smooth waters…

Until…

Something happens. And then all hands on deck. Crunch time. Every single physical object in your presence and finding a kitchen sink to throw in too…

It’s great for a busy season at a job.

And when one of your friends needs help.

I mean come on let’s not pretend the obvious when it comes to the Crow. Something really bad goes down and you’re able to help – then notice how fast your mind can adjust for her. You’re mind starts running left and right; considering problem and seeking solution.

First priority make sure things are OK now.

Second priority make certain things are OK for tomorrow.

Third priority….

Fourth…

It could be any one of your closest friends and your mind goes straight to this mode. You’re not even necessarily thinking of her in any other way at the moment. Oh don’t worry you’ll be neckdeep in heart stuff again soon…

…But for right now your friend needs you and she is willing to have you to help her. She doesn’t need anymore drama, or for any ulterior motives on your part… And wow… The mind just responds.

Another friend whose wife just had their second child referred to the first few months of having a brand new baby as “wartime”; and honestly that’s such an apt analogy.

So for all your bellyaching over your faults and whining and fears for this future and that… there is something you’re pretty good with. 🙂

Be what she needs; not what you want. This is the Crow. You are not going to win her heart. That’s just not how this works. She knows who you are. If one day she wants to be with you, she will choose to be with you. If she doesn’t, she won’t.

Simple as that. So no pressure. 🙂

But she’s going to have to go through the process of getting to where she finally needs to be. She’s going to have to work on herself, so she doesn’t need anyone… but just wants someone to share the adventure of life with.

Be true to yourself and to her.

Be true, and all else will be well.

Be true, and you will never have to have a single regret.

And when it comes to the Crow… having few regrets… is all you could ever want. 🙂
