Mystical Creatures

Women are mystical creatures. We are mysterious, weird and hard to understand. We make no sense, even to ourselves. Our emotions are a storm of confusion that sets even the strongest soul to wondering. Why we were created this way is a question that will probably never be answered. The best solution to dealing with the hurricane called woman is to stop trying to understand.

The other day I was having a great day off. I was trying really hard to be productive and get things done. I only had one problem. All of my technology decided to crap out on me that day. And I mean all of it. I couldn’t even listen to music. Now, normally this would piss me off a little bit but I would find something else to do and move on until my gadgets had finished their temper tantrum and everything would go on as normal. However, this day was different. I lost my fucking mind. I couldn’t justify the anger I was feeling. Nothing could calm me down. Even my dog was pissing me off.

I swore, I yelled, I slammed things. Nothing helped. I decided I needed a break so I went for a walk. That didn’t help either. I was MAD AS HELL. I poured myself a drink in an effort to soothe my frayed nerves. That didn’t help either. I went for a shower, and something about the hot water pouring over my head and body caught my emotions and I began to cry. Hysterically.

Explain this. How is it possible for a normally logical and sane woman to completely fly off the handle and become such an unexplainable disaster of emotion?

Later on I went over to my man’s house. And I discovered, again, why I love him so much. He took one look at me, wrapped his arms around me in a giant bear hug and didn’t say a word. He just held me until I smiled. This, to me, and to most women, is a sign of a true man. He didn’t question me as to what was wrong. He didn’t try to fix it. He was just there.

Being present for your woman is the most important thing you could ever do for her. She doesn’t want you to fix anything. She wants you to be the rock in the middle of her storm. She doesn’t understand what’s going on inside her either – so it’s really wishful thinking if you figure you’ll ever understand. So stop trying and just BE.
