Okay, so everytime I am determined to get in a blogging ritual (like updates Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays or the like), something happens to throw off my schedule. A friend of mine’s apartment was burglarized, so I stayed with her a few days until her jitters were gone.
Now, on to the subject.
One of my favorite montages in Sex and the City is one where Carrie is obsessing about her break up with Big to her friends in Season 2, right before they make her go see a therapist. She isn’t doing a “why did he leave me” obsess…but a “I am so much better than I thought he was” obsess.
That’s how I’m feeling right now. Not the obsession part, but the clarity on who I was in the relationship. I truly thought I had someone special, and that I was lacking something that caused the demise of the relationship. After today, I realized that I was the thing that made him special, and now he’s regular all over again. Doing regular foolishness that regular folks do. The only reason I couldn’t see it is because he still has my “oh-so-special” heart shining some quite flattering HD light. Well snitches, the countdown is on. The lightbulb has an expiration date that is quickly approaching.
In the words of Carrie, “I’m smart. I’m funny. I was totally the poof of the relationship. So it’s best I know now…so I can go poof someone else.”
I’m headed to Cozumel in a week with my cousins, and trust me, there will be no Mexi-coma.
I hope you are having a great week! 🙂
Love,
-V

Sorry to hear about your friend. I’m not sure why anyone would rob someone who’s struggling just like them, but that’s life. I do think you’re playing it right with your upcoming vacation. I think its best to get away from everything that reminds you of that person, if only for a little while. City included.
Have a better weekend. That goes for your friend, too.
