No Irreparable Damage

How many times can a heart be broken before it's irreparably damaged?  I hope it's a high number.  Like, a REALLY high number.

That's right, friends, if you've been following the saga over the past few months, the movie is over.  In a way, it's a relief.  I don't know if I could take much more suspense.  Well, that's a bit of a lie, as it really wasn't such a shocking conclusion.  I had really high hopes this time around, but it turned out the same as it always does.  As someone who's had her heart broken many times, this is starting to become routine.  I know that's a downer, but it's true.  Maybe as time has passed, my philosophy has changed.  My beliefs haven't though, as the blue shoes have shown.  That's a good sign.

The most interesting part of this is that I've pretty much gotten back on the horse right away.  I don't mean that I'm seeing someone new immediately, but I've put myself out there again.  Another sign of changes in philosophy.  No moping, no feeling sorry for myself.  Clear out, they have to clean up the theatre for the next show.  And so it goes on.

"But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life, and when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time"

A Surreal Moment

Several days ago, I was getting into the elevator of my condo, and in the corner on the floor was one blue running shoe.  The other people in the elevator and I looked at it, and we all made a small comment about someone losing their shoe.  It looked kind of sad and forlorn.

The next morning, I happened to get on the same elevator, and I had the most surreal moment ever.  The same blue running shoe was still in the elevator.  But...sitting next to it, was the matching shoe.  I stared at the pair of blue running shoes the entire way down to the parking garage, absorbing the implications of the scene.

That image has stayed with me for days.  It's given me a new hope.  In the end, despite the odds, anyone can find their soulmate.

Or, in this case, their sole mate.
