This song takes me to 1996 and my first “relationship.” Tonight as I listened to this song it got me to thinking. How many times have I been drawn to emotionally unavailable, fickle, prone to cheating women?
This ex is the reason I loathe patchouli, nag champa incense, and the term “spiritual.” Yet on the flip side, this ex is the reason I love Sarah McLachlan and Sting.
What’s my point? There are patterns in how we choose friends and lovers. Whether we like it or not, we have a “type.” And second, as dysfunctional as a relationship may or may not be, our lives are forever changed because of that interaction.
I can never take back the time and energy wasted on that relationship. However, I can take the lessons I’ve learned by looking back and make better decisions when I reenter the world of dating.
“Think of each failure, each heartache, and each loss in your life as a lesson in courage and resilience.” – Kate Anderson
