Foreshadowing?


"Frankly my dear..."

This scene where Rhett finally leaves Scarlett, is just like how my relationship ended. Maybe there are archetypes for breakups.

Wisdom from foreign men


My Brazilian friend emailed me this evening offering condolences on my breakup. He asked me if I have a wild horse inside me. Meanwhile, I had a glass of Pinot Noir and soup a l'onion at the French Bistro in Piermont and met a French baker that invited me to come make marzipan roses with him in his bakery. Then, from what I could make out with his thick Marseille accent, he told me that I should do what I've always dreamed of doing but never did. I hope my wild horse doesn't trample the roses.
