I was once married to a man that I'm quite sure to this day would take a bullet for me. Sometimes things in your life break your relationships. For me, that was my lung transplant.
The good news is, it didn't break me, or him.
I once dated a man that said that he thought if we broke up I would shrug it off and play some video games. I loved him, he did not love me. Play video games I did, shrug it off I did not.
I've been on less than ten dates in the last sixteen months, most have been fodder for blog material, either intentionally or unintentionally.

The morning of, the boy wants to clarify what it is. I dunno, what is it? Boy says he's getting back with ex. Boy cancels hanging out. I say, thanks for telling me. Walk away.
What now? Ah yes, video games, with shrugging.
I wonder, when is the next time I will maybe like a boy?

ReplyDeleteWahhhhh wahhhh, look at these decisions I made.
Wahhhhh wahhhh, look how I did this stupid thing.
Wahhhhh wahhhh, now I have to deal with the result of my actions.
And I'm like, MEN, shut up.
Women never seem to have the luxury to complain about their own decisions. We're always busy complaining about the things men do to us!
Settle down ladies :) There's a guy in the room now.
