    Author Notes:

    A one time complete story. A Tibette/Journey1962 Mashup

    “So people being judgmental keeps you away from church?”
    “No, it think it’s more the pretension than anything else.  Everybody struggles in someway.  Some people choose not to be honest about their struggles.  I got to the point ten years ago that I wanted to be free from the struggle I had in my mind, no matter to what.  I wanted to talk about what I was struggling with but people didn’t want to hear it because then they thought that they had to be just as transparent as I was being.  It scared them.  A lot of people can’t handle honesty.  I had been living with guilt and shame that I shouldn‘t have been carrying.  My belief now is this, God loves me unconditional.  Does He love everything that I do?  No.  But His love for me does not change.  It hurts my heart to see or hear people be so judgmental about things that they don‘t struggle with, but yet they themselves struggle with other issues that they won‘t face or give up.  Some of my own family would have already condemned me to hell for being with Bette if they had a hell to put me in.  Thank God that they don‘t.”  Tina laughs.  “Whether anyone else understands it or not, I have peace with God over my choice to love this woman.”
    “Did you date right away after the divorce?
    “No I kept to myself for the first two years after the divorce.  Not that I didn’t try to date right away.  This guy that I was interested in said something to me that stuck.  He himself had been divorced and he said that it takes about two years for you to feel normal, whatever normal is for you.  And that it was real normal to want to be in a relationship right away because in some ways we think it validates us.  That and being in a relationship was all I knew. He added the best thing that I could do would be to stay away from men for at least two years.”
    “How about a life time.  Opps did I really say that.” say Bette
    “Yes you did.  Well I took his wise advice and I let myself heal without the distraction of another person.  I‘m glad that I did because my children would have suffered had I chased being a relationship too early.”

    1. It was courageous of you to share your story with us. Things happen in our lives for a reason and they help shape who we are now. I wish you happiness and peace.

    2. This is my first time leaving a comment. I enjoyed your story. I related to some of this story. Here’s to a new chapter and may your journey be an amazing one!

    3. Thanks for sharing the story and wisdom “…They were a time of learning and preparation for the good to come in your life…” :-) very touching and encouraging. Well, you might be shy as you said, and I really don’t know you, but I believe that you are a brave one ;-) proven by sharing this story and openly telling this is based on your experience. Wishing you happiness and love.. :-)

    4. You were brave to share a part of yourself with us. I can so truly relate to your story. I am 44 years old, and I have known of my attraction to women since I was about eight years old, but has never been with a woman, lead the so call normal life for about 10 years from the age of 14-24 and then just left the whole scene alone and decided to just be alone,not fair to men and too much drama with women. Good Luck to you. And yes please an update on “Stripper”, I love that story.

    5. I’m glad that a number of you can relate to this story in some way. I know a lot of us read for pure entertainment and to escape a little bit. But I also like to read to gain a little insight sometimes. As a shy person, I tend to be very introspect, too much in my head. As you can tell by the way that I write :) So one day when that special woman comes into my life I hope that I don’t over think things too much. :) Thanks for the well wishes. I am looking forward to loving again, the right person. Best wishes to those who search as well.

    6. How brave you are. It takes an amazing person to see themselves as clear as you do. Best wishes on your journey to your true self…I hope you find more happiness along the way.

    7. It takes some courage to write the way you have. I hope you feel better for it! Your handle makes a whole lot of sense now and I too wish you the very best on the journey you have embarked on :0)

    12. Glad to see your post and WoW! Such fortitude and insightful story, revealing too! Perception of God, faith and love is a cause of many struggles and debates; thank you for sharing a glimpse in your journey. Any way to have realization sooner rather than later is great! Please don’t take long to update the other story.

    13. Got to the end of the story and realized I was crying. I could insert my name for Tina’s… 3 kids, a 19-year marriage ending after my ex cheated, and a similar “Bette” in my past. Thanks for sharing your experience and I agree with you about not regretting the past. From one shy, over-thinker to another, I wish you love and happiness on your journey. I hope you find someone
