words of wisdon from a cold-hearted queen
Thursday, July 17, 2008i had an interesting conversation with s about dealing with relationships. s has been my friend since grade 5 but we speak more often now that she lives in the states than when she was here. anyway, i digress. i asked s if she has ever been broken hearted. of course, i had to prep her a bit before i asked that super corny question. i told her that i only asked because i think of her as a stone cold ice queen when it comes to her relationships.
she told me that she did suffer from this pitiful state of the heart when her boyfriend in college cheated on her. but in my head i was like, college? college is pre-historic already!?! maybe she read what was on my mind so she said, “it only takes one for me to learn”. whoa! s is really an empowered woman. she also said that her dad used to be her idol and when she found out about her dad’s second family she was devastated. from then on, she didn’t forget what guys are.
i feel a bit of bitterness there. but bitterness made her stronger. she’s not a man-hater or anything like that. she cares for her boyfriends but she doesn’t let herself fall. i think that’s the secret if you want to keep your sanity in the cruel world of relationships. be close but not too close. reach out but hold back.
