Gloria.. Why Isn't Anybody Calling.. Gloria

There's a really good old song by a very sexy woman, Laura Branigan, called Gloria.  I'll put the link HERE, but here's some of the lyrics..

"And you really don't remember
Was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

"Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line
Oh-oh, calling Gloria

"[Chorus]
Gloria (Gloria)
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
That you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?"

An exaggeration, but it makes a point that fits with my Perspectives post and current mentality.  Being a creative person, it is easy for caring people like me to imagine someone is feeling more strongly than they are or are sorry when they are not or want you when they don't know you exist.  I finally got to the point that I don't want to guess, anymore.  Besides, if someone cannot act on their own towards me, it would never be equal romance, anyways.  Thus.. to touch on a few recent blog posts, I will keep going out and having fun and having conversations and more.  But, until something is actually and objectively real, it is not real to me.  If someone isn't showing interest from the past, they are not real and should not obstruct me from choosing my path forward.

Indeed, I shouldn't even be considering the possibility of things that are not evident.  What I SHOULD be doing and what I am doing, now, is creating plans that will take me to where I know I can be happy on my own in the event that nothing ever happens with anyone.  As I have noted at various times, your first responsibility is to love yourself with the same passion you would give someone else and make yourself happy.  You have known you the longest, know you the best, and only you will likely be with you til the end.  So, be faithful to yourself and your own happiness.  Anyone that actually cares for you would want that for you, anyways.
