Parallel: relating to two things that are comparible, because they are similar and share many characteristics
Path: A route along which something moves
Could I be said lady on a parallel path? Let's think this through. I guess some might consider me a lady, because I'm female and no longer a child, but I have never thought of myself in those terms. I was once a child, a girl, and then an adult. I guess woman suits me better than lady. But, I can be a somebodies lady, I'm flexible. The important issue here though is what path am I on? That will take some thought..
I've thought about the path I'm on, over several days, but I can't really put my finger on it. I guess for many years my kids path seemed more important than mine, but then I realized that they would do, what they would do. Their father, and I, maybe made mistakes along the way, and our divorce was difficult for them, I'm sure, but the kids have muddled through and are doing well. Both of them are great people that I am proud of.
My path now, however, veered away from them, and I struggled through a few years of working to prove I had what it took to be successfull in my own right. I've switched things up, and things really are all about me right now, and all those who had been saying that anyway, are now speaking the truth. Back to my path, though, and whether it os parallel to one of my new friend's.
I have been enlightened, regarding his path, and it is sad, for me at least, that my path may not be parallel to his. If I were the person I wish I was, in a perfect world for me, I'd say that it might be possible. Still, it might be way down the gravel road, out past town, and nearer paradise. The way it was explained to me, individuals on parallel paths might bump into one another now and then, and that would be totally acceptable, but would never become entwined. So, another probable relationship takes a nose dive, and I think I recognize that desire to not become entwined. It raised its ugly head once before, so I might just let this one go.
