So today I remembered a book I had hidden in between my mattresses in the guest room where I sleep. I opened it to a random page and read this passage. I thought I would share it with you.
It is from a book called "The Gay Husband Checklist - For Women Who Wonder" written by Bonnie Kaye, M.E.d.
"And so the years will pass. Your best years will pass in front of your eyes. Yes, the best years - those years where you could have been living a life without deceit, contempt, and sexual rejection. And before you know it, you'll look around and realize that you can't get back what you have lost. You'll never know how far you could have gone in life because you never had a cheering team cheering you on. You will never be inspired to write poems that have love and hope, but rather your poetry talks of sadness and loneliness. I suppose their is a market out there for poetry of the forlorn. Someone may be smart enough to publish a book on 'Poetry for the Limbo Women.' It's sure to sell a million.
And so, my dear Limbo Women, my heart goes go out to you. I feel as if you are walking in the valley of No Zone. Not quite here, not quite there. But the good news is that you can move into another time zone. You can join the freedom trail and look at life with as a new adventure, just waiting for you. You can make a decision whatever remaining years you have finding yourself and a new sense of enjoyment. You can learn that life can be like a reomantic comedy. You can laugh and love again no matter how old you are. Romance is never an age - It's a state of mind. And even though living with your limbo man has dulled yours, you can still take your life back and live it the way you want to. You may not win the battle, but you can definitely win the war."
