ON MY OWN

PROLOQUE

“I would rather be alone and happy than be with someone who makes me miserable.”

The best thing in man’s life is when he can say your life is complete. You decide on what you want to make with your life on your own. No regrets; no excuses; no one to lean on, rely on or blame.  That gift is all yours..... it is indeed an amazing journey -  and you alone are responsible  for making it as happy and exciting.  This is the day your life really begins.

But can man really live on his own, can he separate his life from other people.  This is the path that our character will be trying to live on.  She has enough of the life she has before.  The life dictated by her family, by her work, by all the people around her.  Enough is enough.

I'm wiser now

I'm not the foolish girl you used to know

So long ago

I'm stronger now

I've learned from my mistakes which way to go

And I should know

I put myself aside to do it your way

But now I need to do it all alone

And I am not afraid to try it on my own

I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what I'll keep it real you know

Time for me to do it on my own

Yeah yeah, mmm, yeah yeah

It's over now

I can't go back to living through your eyes

Too many lies

And if you don't know by now

I can't go back to being someone else

Not anymore

I never had a chance to do things my way

So now it's time for me to take control

And I am not afraid to try it on my own

I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know

Time for me to do it

Oh I start again go back to one

I'm running things my way

Can't stop me now, I've just begun

Don't even think about it

There ain't no way about it

I'm taking names, the ones of mine

Yes I'm gonna take my turn

It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone

I am not afraid to try it on my own

And I don't care if I'm right or wrong

I'll live my life the way I feel

No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know

It's time for me to do it 

See I'm not afraid

This is the time to do it on my own!!!!       In this story, Asher has been in and out of failed relationship.  Her heart has been numbed with all the pains and angst of getting into a relationship then later on found out that the men she give her heart is not worth all the tears and pains she shed.  She has decided not to fall in love again and this time she will guard her heart to any man who has no balls to fight for her and show her that true love really exists.  It is not that she is no longer wishing to find her true love, but she is already burn out after four failed relationships.

Author's POV:

My heart and mind keep on wishing that what happened is just part of the script they are portraying in their newest movie they are making.  But suddenly I woke up with tears in my eyes, accepting that indeed the two people I learned to love have parted ways.  I saw again the pains in her eyes, and for the nth time saw how she is struggling to regain herself and be whole again.

So I dedicate this story to her and to all her supporters who are steadfast in giving her the uncondtional love and understanding. let us join in her journey to try it on her own this time.
