A Many Splendored Thing

All hail the divorcee! I don't know how to sum it up altogether, but like, for real, divorced women are my heroes. When I meet a woman and she tells me in the course of conversation (rather than as some overly-dramatic, painfully transparent announcement, revealing more than I care to know about the nature of her intimate relationships) that she's been married and divorced, I bet you almost anything that if you look into my eyes at that moment they get really glossy and round.

I just get so star-struck by these women (Oh! And let them have multiple divorces under their belt - watch out! cause I'm about to be a fanatic . . . . )!

Somewhere inside of me the over-grown 5 year old who won't let go of 'happily ever after' sees these women as the ultimate romantics.


It makes complete sense!

They fell in love so deeply that they believed it would be forever. But it wasn't . . . and that's alright.

For me, that's the whole thing about these women in particular, versus the 'I need therapy let me tell you how fucked up my marriage was' types - They're doing just fine! They're not beaten down, they're not defeated, and most importantly they're not sorry! They're ready to love all over again!

Can you imagine?!

Swoon . . . !!!
