Background Noise

You see where you want to be in life, you have mapped it all out.

Your plan is airtight, with no possibility of holes.  You are focused and determined to see it through and then you take you first step...

You walk alone because this seems like the best way to get where you are going, no distractions.  But as your journey continues, you meet people along the way.

These individuals are destined to either move you closer to your goal or sidetrack your intent.  You are given choices and those choices will be your triumph or your undoing.

The sooner you learn that your control is not in the destination but in the choices you make, the sooner you will arrive to the place you want to be...it just might not look the way you have envisioned it...safe journey my friend...

Names

Have you every wondered why people pick the screen names that they use in chatrooms?  I think it really tells a lot about who they are and who they want to be.

So what does Cherry_Licious say about me?

Well, I have to say that my nick tells you who I usta be in chat many years ago.

Cherry back then was very young and naive.  I really put a lot of myself out there in the online world. I showed no shame with the art of seduction and I was pretty wild, I would say, even reckless.

I spent a lot of my time in this online world, looking back, I am sure  I was avoiding the real world but I never really thought about that back then.  In real life, I am not like that but online I could be... "Cherry"...but I have learned to accept who I am, faults and all~ and embrace it.  That doesn't mean..Cherry doesn't come out to play ever once in awhile~

I would change my nick to reflect the person I am now, but~ I like the journey and if I changed my screen name~all those I have met along the way wouldn't recognize me and I think that would be harder.  I have no regrets because I believe that the good and bad things we experience are how we become who we are and I wouldn't change who I am now.

I would love to see who you really are in chat~ but I know I only get to see what you want me to see~I accept that~ that is how I know this is not the real world and what we have online cannot ever truly be real~

Conversation

I am worried about conversation.  Is it a lost art form?

Do people no longer get excited from the melody of words that spark between two people?

 Where is the chase and adventure in exploring new topics?

I look back over the years of how my writing has changed and transformed me into the person I am today.  I still love to communicate with people.

 I still find an attraction to a cleverly put together sentence.  It is not the grammar the excites me but the meaning behind the words.  It is the hidden knowledge of a secret language shared between two people.  No matter where you are, I can appreciate how you have equipped yourself with words and targeted a tantalizing topic.

Your attack is swift and well planned as you drop each syllable in your conversational campaign.  I am not cowering from your word bombardment, instead..I am taking it all in and wrapping myself in the cadence of our conversation.

This is the enjoyment you bring to me every time we exchange our secret language of twisted and pulse quickening words...an art form that I hope is never lost between us...

Valentine Moments

Wow~ Another year has passed...and it is yet again Valentine's Day.  I guess my stance on the day hasn't changed very much.  I know as a female I should love the day but simply, it is just another day on the calendar.

I am not against love or giving gifts.  I am just about not making that so routine.

I believe that you should show that you care everyday of the year.

Your special someone should get little tokens of love when you are thinking out them, you know those~ just because moments not because it is "the day" to do it.

I think cards, flowers, chocolates and jewelry are just so cookie cutter.  Show me that you care with your time, your words, and your actions...not your wallet.

I am happy to step off my soap box now...and go spend some time with the special someone in my life..enjoy the moments everyone, not the materials~
