As I’m leaving work today, reflecting on my day and going through my mental “to do list”, I pass the fiance of someone I used to date. This woman and I do not know one another but are aware of who the other is. This is not someone that I speak with or usually acknowledge simply because she spoke unkindly or me and spread false rumors while I dated the man she is now engaged to . She begins to wave to me obnoxiously and I watch as she coaxes her four year old son to do the same. I was left with no choice but to wave back and force a smile to my face while thinking that I can play the game just as well.
But, of course, I’m left thinking about the previous relationship and how much I still care for this man, how wrong she is for him, why did I mess things up, blah blah blah. Such is life, I suppose.
