After deciding whether i'd get some random DVD with a familiar actress or artiste on the front to entice me, i decided on Little Black Book with Brittany Murphy. 15 minutes into the movie, it occurred to me that i had actually seen the movie. But never mind, it's not like i had anything better to do and kept it rolling whilst i cruised online.
And it got me thinking about relationships and what it must be like to be the 'new' girlfriend in a relationship. And unless you've just started dating [which is highly unlikely] you probably have a line up of ex's.
But i admit i am probably not the best person to judge being that my last relationship was 2 years ago. [That's excluding the one that remotely came close to a possibility but i refused to admit there was anything going on]. Yes i frolicked in the rebound window and was very much in denial. But as an ex [2 years post break-up] i can only imagine what it must have felt for the woman who stole my beau's heart.
Like comparing two sides of a coin, one clings desperately onto the past, wishing she was a) prettier b) more outgoing c) wealthier d) more independent. Compared to what the other reveals and that is everything that the other is not.
And like being given the short end of the straw, the truth reveals itself with 3 simple words, "...because she's different". And in all honesty, how is anyone to compete with that?
But as honest as an optimist might proclaim, there are many fish in the sea and the world is my ocean. A pessimist will declare i'm a pescatarian and insist that all the fish are lousy.
And yet still single and caring for a hyperactive feline that proudly carries tied up plastic bags as though it is a fresh kill. I think back to the days when i. love. you. were 3 separate words and the term 'relationship' meant who was my next of kin.
