Apology: I am sorry to be using my blog as a public forum to discuss my grief. I never envisioned becoming one of these people. In fact, I even vowed not to become one of these people that use their blog this way. But since I am not using my blog in much of anyway, and since I have all of two readers (thanks, and a special apology to you in particular) anyways, I figure I might as well use this medium to send my martyrdom into the abyss. I think for Robinson women, it just feels better when someone knows we are suffering. So, my readers, I shall punish you for perhaps a few more posts yet, but stick with me, I will recover from my funk.
I think I choose to share this particular sad thing because it is so intensely relatable. It seems like almost everyone has suffered some sort of heart break in their life, whether it was Judy stuffing the Valentine you spent a week crafting for her back into your own Valentine Box, or whether it was Brian, who broke off your engagement two weeks before the wedding. I argue that a humanizing element of life is this current break-up, because I can now empathize with Brian and Judy’s victims. So there’s a silver lining.
Please blame the following cliché on the fact that I am sad and lacking in creative energy, but today Ifeel like there is a gaping Shaun hole in my life that I wish he would just come and fill with his skinny little arms and a shovel full of love. Is that how this is supposed to feel? Anyone got any particularly good post break-up advice for me. I’ve got a hole to fill.
Oh, Sierra! I didn't know you guys had broken up! I'm so, so sorry. I wish I had good advice, but really all I can remember about my bad breakup was pounding the mattress and sobbing as loud as I could into it. You can do that if you want. 🙂
Oh Sierra I love you. And I promise, promise, PROMISE, the hole will get smaller. For now, I'd say fill it with sleep, food, a good movie, and other people.
