Recurring Theme of My Life
Balance. Yin and yang. Back and forth. Light and dark. Ebb and flow. If only it was as simple to achieve the balance I'm seeking just by following these concise, handy little instructions. Deep breaths, more sleep. Sure, that's all it takes.
This past weekend in New York was great (really) and awful (really). Great because I gave it my all at an interview for a job that I really want (still waiting to hear back from them - I'm so hopeful. I'm sure the good vibes from everyone did me good. Maybe I'll have good news soon.). Great because I got to see my friends again. Great because I love being in that city more than anywhere else. Awful because I had an experience with a friend that essentially killed our relationship. Long story short, he professed his undying love for me and then told me of his impending co-habitation with his new girlfriend who he's not sure he loves... Which basically means I can't spend time with him when I move back. It wouldn't be fair to anyone since I now know his true feelings - not me, not him, not her. So, our friendship is pretty much over and that hurts. It actually hurts more than I anticipated. He's part of my New York (everyone has their own, you know) so when I go back, my version of the city will be missing something.
I'm tired. I feel like a need a break from travelling, but this weekend I'm headed back to New York for an awesome concert that the man got me tickets for (fabulous valentine's present!). It'll be really good to go back, but this is going to be a busy week and I'm having one of those days I just wish I could sleep though. *yawn* I need a nap.

7 What people are saying:
That's a shame, a real shame, it's difficult to ever return to the "before" when something like that happens?
Strange too, something you said clicked, how is it that emotional blows make you feel physically tired?

I don't know why, but they sure as hell do, don't they? I'm drained. I mean, it's not like I got nearly enough sleep this weekend, but even so, I am downright exhausted. Mentally, emotionally, physically. I've wanted to sleep all day and I can guarantee that it's mostly because of the emotional roller coaster, not the lack of sleep.

I wrote this great post, but then Blogger decided it hates me. So I'll try to summarize:
Why do people pour out their hearts to someone when they're not in a situation where they can truly reciprocate? I mean, if you were single, it's a bit of a different story, but you're in a thing, and he's in a thing...I don't get it.
Anyway, hope that you guys can eventually be cool again, someday.

Man, oh man, who knows. I adore this guy, too. That's what's so sucky about it. He's funny and good looking (not to mention he's built like a Greek god, but anyway...) and sweet and smart and completely wrong for me. And he knows that. It's no secret that we'd never work out - even if we were both available - WHICH WE ARE CLEARLY NOT. Basically, I feel like crap, he feels like crap, and he's moving in with a woman he's unsure about. UGH.

Lisa, you just summed it up entirely. And quite beautifully I might add. Welcome.

Glad you are coming back to New York this weekend! It is supposed to actually be nice. Novel idea around here.

That really really sucks. I feel sorry for the girl he's moving in with also. I'm sure she has NO idea .... take a nap, evena catnap will do. 20 mins. You'll feel like a million bucks :)
