“So, how did your job interview at ___ go?”
“How did you know that? I didn’t tell you that.”
“I just could tell from your tweets. You give out that vibe; you’re more transparent than you think.”
*
“It’s too late for coffee.”
*
“Well, that would be mean.”
*
“Hey, remember the time you told me you couldn’t imagine me wearing heels? Well guess what I’m wearing.”
“You can do anything you want to.”
“Awwww.”
*
“Come on, tell me about the drama as briefly as you can.”
“Well, the act of describing it to you would make me relive the drama all over again…”
“Okay, don’t then.”
“…which would be rather nonsense, which is what it is. Nonsense.”
*
“Speaking of reliving drama, guess who’s reliving the drama. I’m going through the same ___ ____ situation.”
“It’s not my fault.”
“Yeah, it never was your fault; I just didn’t say it.”
*
“Oh, stop sounding like a fortune cookie.”
*
“Go to bed; I wanna sleep.”
*
But the thing that I forgot to say – which goes way up there in the long, long list of things I want and should say but do not – is that you will be good at whatever it is you do. And you will make the right decision, and even if it isn’t the right time, it will still lead you to where you ought to be. Time will make it look better when you look back, but you won’t see it that way until much, much later.
People change, and not necessarily for the better, but sometimes you can’t blame them. I’ll always tell you when you’re becoming one of them, don’t worry.
And you will do whatever it is you need to do until then.
And being lonely, I’ve been told, is a feeling that comes and goes. When it comes, it’s always a good indicator of when you need to drag out a friend to talk about things like menstrual cycles and how pedestrian life has become.
So sleep. Travel – pursue your wanderlust and that itch under your skin to move somewhere (anywhere) – and then come back and we’ll go have a local coffee.
And everything will look better in the morning.
