“Love is the label that never goes out of style”
Not only did Carrie Bradshaw utter these words to close out “Sex and the City” but they double as the bittersweet truth of this timeless interaction between human beings that we call love. Whether we try to marginalize love into some corner of the mind until we think we are ready to address its impact, or lack there of, love makes its presence known and doesn’t allow for time to wrinkle its face. Basically-love-is-a-bad-bitch and refuses to be upstaged!!
I am usually the confidant friend and can be found at any hour of the day fixing other peoples relationship issues and constantly wringing out the shoulder area of my garments due to an excess of soaked up teardrops. Thus has been my role since I was a youngster and I have grown quite comfortable, on the set of life, in that role, or so I thought. Clearly love doesn’t wear a watch because, contrary to popular belief, her ETA cannot be determined by her nor you.
I am a victim of love. Period. I’ve been usurped from my throne as the world’s most self-sufficient single in a matter of seconds and for some reason I didn’t mind the decline. Everything crumbled under the hand of love but it was the sweetest disassembling I could have wished for. It’s amazing the amount of positive damage she causes without even announcing herself. Such a complex energy breaks us all down to the simplest form but never solves for “x”-Love.

"...it was the sweetest disassembling I could have wished for." Love this. It rings so true. She hurts so good. And now that you've peaked my interest, who is this dethroner?? They must be quite magical to have made you, the consummate singleton, evict his life-long space.
For some reason everyone fears her, not realizing how pleasant she can be.
