I'm going to leave it there

of some movie, this guy's favorite horse that he always rides?

Some huge stallion?

It's at the front of his gate with his head cut off, blood running down his neck with some warning

I realize there is some huge backstory here, with vendettas, sort of like blood oaths between these two men (or families)

kind of like, 'what I'm I getting myself into'

Then the guys who owned the land behind me?

They knew I was coming in and trying to figure out a way to approach me, because they needed to run cattle and that land was the only way for them to get to such and such road, to get the cattle moving forward, north

The other guys surrounding them wouldn't let them run their cattle on their land

So I go over to their side, to talk to them

It's like the start...

oh, I had a crazy dream last night

Western

I was staying at this place in Mexico

There was land I was too sort of watch over for this guy -- looked like the desert in Mexico

The guy who owned the land hadn't been there for years

There were wild animals like tigers and lions, along with cattle

The guys bordering my land didn't know people would be coming back

That Amish date set up

He didn't know me

That Amish date set up felt so serious, and I felt like I was getting no respect

He never even asked me out on a date or contacted me

I show up to his mom's house wanting a cat for my place with Elise

She said that as soon as she meets a guy?

Her mind goes straight to marriage, she's falling in love with the potential

I think that's what the asshole assumed about me, or some of the guys are assuming when they target the Southern church girls

That's what was so eerie about the middle home school boy, Sam

We didn't go to the same church, same school

but high control mother

he said what I said earlier,

their mothers are simply telling them:

don't get pregnant

don't be fast/easy

don't let a man hit you

and that's it

so they're getting played and/or in abusive relationships

he had one woman on there, grew up as a church girl

this morning I listened to part of a podcast by a dating coach

he talked about church girls

how they're not being prepared for dating

only marriage

With my old church's purity program, *a lot* of those kids paired up while in the youth group and married, are still together

in those kinds of high control settings, it can work
