<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">While it is a profession that I despise, I must admit that it is quite interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>It never ceases to amaze me how gargoobled letters, symbols and numbers can produces something as beautiful as this: </p>
<div class="mceIEcenter">
<dl id="attachment_398" class="aligncenter" style="width: 510px;"><img title="sandals" src="http://impactingjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/sandals.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="219" /></p>
<p>OK, maybe it’s the beach that makes it so beautiful…. *sigh*
</dl>
</div>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">In reality, my eyes know that this beautiful beach is nothing more than the mess of characters in the source code above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>Isn’t this though, the reality of life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>I know that I can present a pretty glossy exterior when MOST of the time, I’m a MESS just below the surface.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>I’m a tangled weave of gargoobled intellect, fears and emotions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">So are these women…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-397" title="women" src="http://impactingjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/women.jpg" alt="women" width="600" height="220" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">It’s too bad you can’t read someone’s source code to find out what they are really about before you allow them into your world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>I’m often too trusting of a person and allow the wrong people to get inside my secure little realm of existence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>I tend to believe that everyone is truly good and kind at the core of who they are and everyday that happy little fantasy is shattered more and more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>It’s a sad realization that there are some people who, if given the option of a “Make Your Life Wonderful” button <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>and a “Make Your Life Miserable” button they will choose to make you miserable every single time.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"> <img title="BUTTONS" src="http://impactingjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BUTTONS.jpg" alt="BUTTONS" width="357" height="167" /></p>
<p>What kind of friend are you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </span>Which button do you choose to push?  </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is dumbfounded.<span> </span>“Why???<span> </span>I love you!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He lists reasons after reasons of why they have no future together and she fails to understand.<span> </span>She knows the relationship has flaws; it’s painfully obvious.<span> </span>Regardless, she loves him and can’t imagine life without him.<span> </span>Moreover, she can’t imagine anyone else being able to love him the way that she can.<span> </span>She cries.<span> </span>She falls apart.<span> </span>And then she goes Glenn Close on his ass.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="center"><img src="http://impactingdesign.com/blog/fa.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She calls. She texts.<span> </span>She MySpaces everyone he’s ever known.<span> </span>She hacks his email.<span> </span>She waits outside of his work.<span> </span>She threatens to harm herself if he doesn’t come back to her.<span> </span>She can’t leave the obsession alone.<span> </span>If she gives up, how will she ever convince him to be with her?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the life of me, I cannot wrap my brain around the psycho-ex-girlfriend phenomenon.<span> </span>I’ve witnessed it, I’ve been a victim of it but I could NEVER IMAGINE living it.<span> </span>This is not just a female thing either, although we’re probably more relentless, crafty and devious about it.<span> </span>There are plenty of nutso-ex-boyfriends as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">I don’t want to discredit the pain of being rejected; it’s awful, almost unbearable.<span> It is certainly enough to make you lose your mind. </span>When the person that your life revolves around is suddenly gone your world crumbles, your sanity is rocked to the core and you feel as though you will never be a complete person again.<span> </span>I get it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">BUT.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is acting like a straight-jacket candidate really the best way to win your lovers heart back?<span> </span>Really?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I mean, nothing says “I love you” like a dead bunny in a boiling pot, right?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="center"><img src="http://impactingdesign.com/blog/bunny.jpg" alt="" />..<span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span>..</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Has this ever happened to you???</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;" align="left"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever been the psycho-ex???</span></p>
