Martinis at Midnight

The Wave Martini

The Wave Martini

How can I be awake at 3am!! What happens to a woman late in the evening? Are we all crazy? Or is it just me? I am up late yet again indulging in another martini even though I know I should be sleeping. Oh how I am going to pay for this in the morning. Why am I up late? Well you guessed it, all because of a man! Now, I am not up late because I am getting it on with a man but because I am running scared from a man. The only way to calm down my anxiety over this situation is to have a nice strong martini. The martini of choice is the Wave because you guessed it, this one is so incredibly calming.

The Wave martini is a drink that helps quite your mind and soothes your soul. It is a combination of Vodka, Gin, Midori Melon liqueur and Triple Sec. It is just the way a martini should be, all alcohol with none of this fruity juice stuff. The blend of the vodka and gin is very good and gives this martini tones of strength. When you add the melon liqueur and triple sec it gives a nice mellow sensation with the flavors of orange and melon. It was when I took the first sip of this martini that I slowly started to feel the stress and tension ease out of my body.

The question is: Why am I so stressed about a guy? Well because I have never met a man who makes me feel so amazing and I have also never met a man who makes me want to run and hide. As I was sipping my martini I realized that the reason I want to run and hide is because I am so scared of taking a chance on this man. After several years of flirting with each other we have finally got together, and oh my god what an incredible connection.

“The sex is mind blowing which is always a bonus but the coolest thing is that we just click in every other way.”

Mentally he stimulates me, emotionally he makes me feel loved and spiritually we are on the same page. So what is my freaking problem? After wanting to be with this guy for so long, now that he is into me it is almost like it is too good to be true. I don’t know if I really believe that he is in to me as much as he says he is? I also have this fear that he is going to go back to the old girlfriend, who he has a history of being on again and off again with. But he swears he is not interested in her anymore.

My days that use to be so simple when I was on my own, are now like a wave of emotional ups and downs. The excitement of talking to him gives me such a high and then I feel so low when I miss him. Can I really let myself go and fall in love with this man? As I mixed myself another martini I asked myself why am I holding back? Then I had a moment of clarity, you have to love when a martini gives you clarity! I am holding back because I am so scared of being rejected! The fear of opening myself up to loving him and the possibility of getting rejected is the reason I want to run and hide. The question that I am pondering is: Is being in love with this great guy worth the risk of possible rejection. It would be great to live in a bubble and never fall in love because then you would not have to deal with all the emotions that you have buried deep inside. Denial is great! Do I really want to confront my fear? It is so much easier to run away! Oh, and I am good at running away, the little girl inside of me has mastered the art of bolting!

Fear is such a strong emotion, it makes us limit ourselves and our life experiences because we are scared to take a chance. Is it really safer to live in a bubble and try and protect ourselves from what might happen? The only thing that can overcome fear is faith. How much faith do I have in myself? Do I have enough faith that even if I take a chance and get rejected, will I still be alright? Do I have enough trust and faith in this great guy, to actually believe the things that he says? Do I have enough self esteem to believe in myself, to trust my intuition and to truly believe that this amazing guy is super lucky to have the chance to be with me? Some how after having a few Wave martinis I had gained enough strength to really start to believe that I could over come my fear. With the clarity I had received I realized that I was way to stubborn to let my fear stop me from having a life experience, I also realized that if I did end up rejected I had some great girlfriends and enough wave martinis to help me pick up the emotional pieces.

Conclusion:

The Wave Martini is so strong and so soothing, it is the mixture of Vodka and Gin that gives this drink so much strength. The strength of this martini is similar to how a wave builds and peaks. When you add the melon and orange is creates the feeling of mellowness which is just like when the wave washes up on shore and takes away all your stress and anxiety. It is like the strength you have when you look deep inside your self and don’t let yourself succumb to fear. When you have true faith in yourself then you are willing to take a chance and embrace life experiences. It is this faith with the help of the Wave martini that gives your mind clarity and soothes the soul. Remember when you let fear rule your life you are only limiting your experiences and that is when you need the kick of a good strong Wave martini.
