it's that feeling you get in the middle of the night when the lights are off and you're in bed with your eyes closed. In the twilight of your consciousness you lay there thinking about them...only to realize that you're the last thing on their mind.
And that's when ridiculous things start happening.
I never once thought I would fall victim to such a convincing charade. But lo and behold there must be a first for everything.
I truly thought you were one of the most incredible people I've ever met in my life. With interests just as diverse and unique as mine (except in your own way). And, hiding beneath the shell of the extroverted lifestyle that you carry, was a beautiful woman whom I believed to be my adversary in terms of wit, intelligence, independence, and confidence.
Now...I think I'm beginning to discover that I had been misled all this time. Perhaps that woman that I saw was a mask as well. And, being so enchanted with it I failed to notice that it was a mask all that time. Either that's the case, or I really did see the awesome woman that you are and you just don't have the balls to be yourself ALL of the time.
I hope you choose wisely. Cause you're beginning to lose someone pretty incredible yourself.
There's a dilemma whenever I walk into Family Christian Bookstore.
I try to support small businesses. FCS is smallish. But I also demand excellence.
There's a ton of things I would rework if I ran one. I would change the layout of the store. I would focus product lines so that there's greater synergy between products. I would change the advertising materials so as to attract more potential customers. I would make a lot of things easier to find. But everytime I walk into one of these I start feeling bad because I feel it's not my place to criticize/judge a Christian store. But then I second guess myself because I do it all the time with secular stores; so why should it be any different just because it's a Christian one? In fact, shouldn't I be able to hold the Christian store to higher standards? -_-
