Crazy Little Thing Called Love

My girlfriend Lucy, whom I have known since high school, (but recently became friends with, nice!) is having a bit of a rough go of it as of late...(she has a blog, but, it's red-velvet roped, so, if you want to get in, you have to ask...and show some skin, sorry been in Vegas too long...) ANYWAY, bottom line is, she was with the man she thought was from her dreams, and then he dumped her...and then "found" someone else 4 days later. Every chick reading this is hopefully thinking what I won't type because, you know, I'm such a lady. Here's the thing, I honestly think everything happens for a reason. (cheesy, I know) I hate her pain because it sucks, in the moment, it seems like there is nothing worse than a broken heart. But, it's all a big game of trial and error...and trust me, I had lots of errors before I met Lee. (an embarrassing amount) I don't regret all the heartbreak, drama-filled college days, drama-filled after college days...I've been cheated on, a bia, and everything in between. Relationships are about timing, trust, and it is true when your mom tells you, "you just know...": Because, really, you just KNOW. A few words of "wisdom"; know yourself first, then find somebody who loves you exactly as you are. Pay attention to what he/she does, not what they say. It's important to value your own opinion the most, but if the people you love the most don't love your man/woman, rethink it. Sounds harsh, but, if your best friend doesn't like your man, it's probably not a good thing. (My friends told me he was gay....hmmmm...) So, obviously I'm not the authority on anything relationship-wise, but, I've just been thinking about Lucy lately. Chin up, in a few years, you'll be thanking him, promise.
