Be Wild with Me

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with."

Today I just want to sit and write and muse and ponder ... The above quote is what I'm mulling over at the moment... but with me there is no "maybe" ... I am not meant to be tamed. One man tried to tame me, my daughter's father, thus why he's my ex ... But boy did he try ... and he almost did break me. Could have if I weren't so stubborn and free and, yes, fuerte ... But that's not what's meant for me. I am wild and I'm not ashamed to say it ... Yes, I've calmed down as I've gotten older and taken on the role of mother ... but I'm still wild by any standard. I'll try just about anything once ... notice I said just about because, like everyone, I have my limits. Still, I'm openminded when it comes to adventure and fun and partying and meeting new people and just getting out there and exploring ... getting to know me and you ... the world with all its celebrations and tragedies ... So, no, I'm not meant to be tamed ...

Tame is bland, dull, blah ... Wild is colorful, exciting, uninhibited, free ... unreined ... untethered ... Boundless ... unafraid ...

And I want someone to run wild alongside me ... and yes, there'll be time I'll want to run ahead ... and times I'll want him to take the lead ... but the point is that we remain untamed ... wild ... and free ...
