Lets talk about exes.......

[Daywalker]

Like an Apple that shines on the outside, we pick up said apple,
examine it, get to know it, then if we decide this is the
one we want...well, we take a bite out of it.

Sometimes it is not until we have reached the stage of wanting to get to
know an Apple, get to the core of who they are...we then realize that
perhaps that Apple was not as shiny on the inside as we
romanced ourselves into thinking.





Forgive the comparison, but I think Apples n Exes can both serve us well in
our futures when it comes right down to it. They serve as reminders of our
past and are shiny examples of our own personal evolutions. We continue
to be drawn, for whatever reason...to the tasting. Until one day we find the
perfection in our own imperfections, and are fortunate to find the very
Apple that we were seeking all along.


Of course, without all the Ex Apples...how were we to know...?


This does not mean that I have forgotten the rotten.
This does not mean that I haven't been fooled by the poisonous.


However

One bad apple does not always spoil the barrel.
