I am a drama queen.
Blame it on the television drama serials I watched every night, as well as the drama marathons I used to have with imported love dramas. The stories are different but the plots are always the same. Girl meets boy, sparks fly but something prevents them from getting together. They finally get together and the real drama ensues. Girl or boy contracts terminal illness and does the heroic thing of leaving the other. OR misunderstandings abound about some insignificant third party. Hits and misses. Lots of tears. Drama.
I am also an attention craving maniac. If for a moment my psychotic mind injects doubt that Eli is paying attention to me, I literally go stark raving mad.
Yes it is nothing short of a miracle that Eli is in love with me.
He has courage far greater than what Dr Oz could ever hand out. I mean, which sane man would have the courage to stick his head into a spinning ceiling fan without hesitation? Eli does that for me. He charges straight at my volatile mood swing and holds me tight with me all the while swinging at him like a fan blade cutting through. He tries to soothe me and attempts to make me laugh. He sings for me and says the sweetest things. And I am relentlessly swinging the heaviest golf driver as if oblivious to the fact that he is standing less than a foot away.
As with all stories, there comes a climax after great anticipation. I breakdown and rattle on like a lunatic about what I did, what I felt and what is going on right now. Then I stick my feet in my mouth. I tell him I will be okay. He tells me everything is fine and tomorrow is a new day. He reminds me to be thankful for what we have, and then he prays with me.
After a couple of minutes, I feel like a complete jerk. I hand him the driver and beg him to swing it at me. He laughs, embraces me and tells me how crazy he is about me. He tells me I am cute, and that I make him laugh.
I am a very blessed drama queen. God loves me.
