to make someone feel safe when they are not. Wearing suntan lotion can lull people into a false sense of security and make them spend longer in the sun than they should.

It's happening. a lot. In Iraq... Online... At Work.
You knew it was coming- In Relationships.
An interesting individual brought this up to me... in regards to life's twists and turns and surprises. I had said to this person that the need to be constantly moving, taking risks, in the middle of it all etc. has dwindled as i get older. True, he said. But don't fool yourself into thinking that life will not be without unexpected twists. Humans, and I would venture to say, specifically Americans, are often blindsided by the unexpected. Why else would it be called unexpected? (sometimes, I surprise myself by writing the stupidest things).
Alright, this is a chick blog- back to the girl stuff. My out of the blue breakup knocked the wind out of me. This would be one of the first times I didn't see it coming. I mean, I was a wreck for at least 3 days. ha.
Now, I'll look back - you know, a whole month or so ago, and I have to wonder why I was so upset? Well number one- no one likes rejection. It's the worse. Number two, no one likes to be surprised. But ok- number three is the big one. And what I didn't think about until this nice gentlemen said it was, omg, a false sense of security. Just because I felt like everything was great and my own concerns were always put to rest by reassurance from this guy, had I not allowed myself to feel "secure" in the first place, I may not have been so upset.
Ok, well that just blows. So where does that leave a gal? I get to spend the rest of my life with whoever and know that nothing is ever secure? I mean good god, I don't think they have enough xanax in the world to help out everyone if that's the case. And as I sit here pondering that, I completely realize that it's something that no one has a choice in. I have no choice if I want some lovin' in my life. So I'll deal.
I suppose the fun of it is, it will always be a surprise. Good. Bad. or Unexpected.
