I’m on a fast. I’m not religious, it’s like two months after Easter. I’m giving up negative thinking – it’s painful. Mostly because whenever I do have a negative thought I have to pinch myself. It’s kinda like shock therapy, I’m re-wiring my brain. The new me will be a better me. A better quality me will attract better quality people – read men.
Anyway, all the books are right – I’ve read enough of them to recognize a recurring theme. People really do show you who they are right from the start. Gregory told me it was complicated to dissolving his marriage. Of course it is when you’re not actually trying to break up. I knew Ken was bad with money when he was short for the check on our first date. He paid me back immediately from the envelope of money that was earmarked for his rent. The new and improved me won’t stick around once I recognize the tell-tale signs the story will end badly.
