I believe I just wiped a little tear from the corner of my eye - beautiful, just beautiful. (Seriously, all of these poems are cracking my shit up. Thanks, guys!) ---

So any of you poets ready to take Zsofia out on the town? 😉 ---

Well, I told people at work today about the whole breakup thing and was a little ashamed at the looks of TOTAL SHOCK. I feel a little bit like I let them down. ☹ ---

Oh hush, don’t feel like that at all. When it comes down to it, you’re the only one who has to live your life, and busybodies can go jump under a bus. ---

No kidding; they don’t have to live your life. Everyone hates hearing about breakups, mostly because they automatically think it’s the Worst Thing In the World. ---

I had to tell my hairstylist this morning, who knows him, ergh. So, Saturday I have a date! With a guy from OKCupid (which is, oddly, where I met my ex) who I’ve been messaging up a storm with for a week. Who seems really awesome. (And lives, at best, an hour away.) I’m really psyched and had to almost physically restrain myself from buying a new outfit. ---

Hey, good on you Zsofia. I’ve been out on a couple of dates recently. It’s freaky exciting, isn’t it? ---

R,R,R,RE-BOUND!!! Big mistake. I would advise anyone coming off a lengthy relationship, to date around, keep it fresh and open.
