...someone to come over here and handle this messy apartment for me. You ever have a mess so grandiose that you couldn't even fathom where to begin? That's where I am right now.
...Josie to come back to NYC and help me make some sense of my unruly tresses. You guys... I got so desperate I... I... I CUT IT MYSELF!! It was very traumatizing!
...more tango lessons. I stopped at three and now I find myself craving them from time to time. I need more tango lessons in my life.
...to wake up with all the answers I seek. I don't want to have to read any more books on the subject, or seek out any more spiritual centers, or harass the lyrics of my favorite songs to show me the way. I just want to KNOW.
...to hear these songs:
really loud and have a man- a REAL man- take me by the hand to the dance floor and mean it. I won't ever need sex so long as I can have a really great dance for once in my life.
...for my body, mind and soul to heal itself. I'm tired of being sick all the time. And besides, the rest of me is too busy anticipating the new fall line-up on TV to worry about my health.
...a jerk chicken patty with coco bread from the food stand on 165th Street & Jamaica Avenue. Oh my goodness- I can almost taste its spicy goodness! In fact, make that TWO patties...
...one entire carefree month in Santo Domingo, catching up with my family, lounging on the beach in La Romana, drinking fresh coconut water and ogling all the men I can't have because they might be my cousins.
...a do-over for April, May, June and July. I hate about 85% of the decisions I made in those months and would really appreciate another chance to get it right.
...to call a truce with The Voices. I'm not sure when it was that they became my nemeses, because in the beginning we were really good friends, and I want that old thing back. I want some peace among us.
*smooches...pretty sure I'm asking for too much*
----------
but quietly, I'd give up all these wants for JUST the jerk chicken patty. it's THAT GOOD!

Call me crazy, but I think finding a really good dance partner could help soothe a lot of the other wants you seek... Dancing always makes me feel so GOOD!!
Yes, but I need him to KNOW how to spin me, lead me, etc... not step on my feet, hold me just right. And smell good. I DREAM about that!
I don't think you're asking for too much at all. You're asking for what you need, want and, most importantly, deserve.
Now the key is to finally convince yourself that you really do deserve all the good stuff. You do.
As to April through July, the only thing you can do now is chalk that time up to a learning experience. Walk away cradling the important lessons (whether they were awesome or painful experiences, poor or great decisions) and use them to move forward.
What's the saying... a closed mouth don't get fed? Ask for what you want! Loved the do-over for this spring/summer, too.
Hmmm, I wish I could take some dancing lessons to. Might take the cousin's Meringue class next Tuesday.
I say ASK AWAY..nothing wrong with knowing what you want and asking for it. We think about what we want, imagine it, and then figure out how to get it or put it into action.....ASK AWAY :-)
