A Break. AKA: I need to have sex with other people while you feel insecure about yourself and get fat overdosing on alcohol and ice cream.

A break
Aka. I need to have sex with other people while you feel insecure about yourself and get fat overdosing on alcohol and ice cream, until I decide I’m bored and come back.

So I’ve never been on a “break” before.
I honestly don’t know what it means. The whole concept is foreign to me.
See, I have this pair of amazing shoes. Love them. Everyone loves them. I get compliments every day and they make me happy.
But sometimes they’re out of season. And they just sit around collecting dust. And people ask to borrow them. And I SHOULD let them.
Because I’m not using them. And I know I’ll get them back eventually. But, god forbid, someone looses them. Or breaks a heel. OR they just don’t come back in the condition I left them in.
That’s not a risk I’m willing to take with my fashion.

And I don’t understand men who are willing to take that risk with women.

If you are in a relationship. Even if ,at the moment, you’re not in the best place in that relationship. Even if there seems to be a bit of arguing. Perhaps some boredom setting in. Whatever it may be.
If you are in a relationship, its YOURS. And you either fix it. Or you end it. You don’t lease it out for a little bit, while you figure out what you want, and then expect to still be able to come over and enjoy the benefits. This is no summer rental sir.

A break hurts the exact same way a “break-up” does. You still feel inadequate, like whatever you did wasn’t enough to “keep” that person.
You feel regretful. Thinking about all the time “wasted” with this person. Time that could have been spent with someone much more deserving. Like yourself.
You’re sad. You’re lonely. And, jealous. Which comes unexpectedly. Because now, you have ZERO right to question anything. The simple “where’d you go last night” might open up a big can of worms. So you avoid any “questions” and go on pretending like you’re all good with everything. It turns into this very fake, very forced “friendship.” But the foundation is built on false hope. The foundation is built on the hope that this man will come back. So in the meantime you don’t want to do anything to ruin what “may” happen in the future. So you stay smiling, and happy and available. And hope one day he “snaps” out of it, and comes back home crying.
Which never does. I’m convinced.

All the stupid clichés. “If its meant to be let it go and it will come back to you” blah blah blah B.S.

I’m a firm believer that if it was meant to be, you wouldn’t have gotten rid of it in the first place.
Even if its one MINUTE of being on a break. that’s enough time to potentially loose the person you care about for good.
All it takes is one drunken night. One fabulous date. One minute of someone else, to get you distracted.
God knows I have a.d.d.

Breaks are bullshit and you all know it. But maybe I’m being a little harsh. What do ya’ll think?

Love in the time of Kardashians

I miss the simple days of love. Where you met. You married. You had children. There were still the same problems. Alcoholism. Infidelity. Domestic Abuse. Recession. Death. Taxes. But it was all veiled behind fabulous elbow length gloves, and low-tipped fedoras. No one really knew what was going on in your home. No one dared question you about your husband. Or your children. Those were private intimate things. For better or worse that’s just how it was. Today we have the absolute extreme opposite. And just as damaging as it is to live behind veils and lies, its equally damaging to be too open. Too exposed. Too naked. This is the struggle I have within myself constantly. How to keep pieces of myself private and protected. But also allow myself the comfort and personal freedom that comes with being totally open and honest about my life. Its very easy to “put it all out there.” Between twitter and facebook. Foursquare. .Tagged photos. Comments. Replies. Innuendos. You can pretty much expos...

::Water Board Nominees::

People who need to be waterboarded I. The overly happy co-worker who asks “how you weekend was” with a huge grin first thing Monday morning, as you stumble towards the coffee maker. B*tch is my cup empty? Is it 8am? Fall all the way back. How are these people waking up so happy? Sex? Burbon? Anti-depressants? I need answers white America. II. People who answer the phone “yellow” without being the least bit ironic. Like, they seriously answer the phone that way. Because, that’s how they talk. III. People who pull out in front of you, and then proceed to go 36 mph. Are you kidding me Tokyo Drift? You were all in a hurry to cut me off and now you’re not even GOING the speed limit? IV. Keeping on the subject of asshole drivers, people that pass you by going 186 mph only to have to slam on their brakes at the SAME red light you are at. Again, I ask, really sir? This is not the Indy 500. This is a small highway in a suburbs with red lights. Calm it down. V. People named Mercedes. Porcha. ...

::Little Gifts::

dis⋅so⋅lu⋅tion [dis-uh-loo-shuhn] –noun 1. the act or process of resolving or dissolving into parts or elements. 2. the resulting state. 3. the undoing or breaking of a bond, tie, union, partnership, etc. There has been a lot of dissolution this year. A lot of loose ends being tied up. A lot of things ending,and the resulting states it leaves behind. You tend to reflect a lot when something tragic happens...In this case losing my job right after my 30th birthday. A double whammy. Ive been reflecting about the past year. Which of course, leads to the past few years, which in turn,becomes basically a rundown of your whole life. if you are like i am (which you're probably not, you're probably fucking normal) you overthink everything. You think about it so much that you have it figured out. Down to its very core matter. Until it looses all meaning. Like a scientist. Who can look at a flower and tell you its exact genus and species. Tell you why its red. ...
