when the end is a lot closer to the beginning.

Have you ever been in a situation where you were living your best life, you meet someone under the pretense of romance and red roses and things go great until they don’t? A fair question that we sometimes ask our self and others is why people are the way that they are.


We question what we did to deserve what we have. Suspicion lingers in the shadows of quality time. We want the best version of him while we look for his alternate. The version that subscribes to dishonesty and strict privacy. His voice, a velvety baritone that ignites the feeling of lust and skepticism. When he tells you that he loves you, you parrot his words of affection while trying to picture the priceless facial expressions of the others when he tells them the same. Do they believe him? Do I believe him? His interest in me hasn’t wavered since we met and exchanged numbers at the bar in WeHo. But I cannot help noticing that when we’re together, he makes it a point to keep his phone facedown.


He must be hiding something.


See, I was doing good all by myself, and here he comes – distracting me with his charm, good looks and faux emotional availability. I need to end this and there’s no time like the present. “Hey, I’m sorry but I can’t do this anymore. Be well.”



Remember when we asked, ‘why people are the way they are’? You’re not exempt. Sometimes, we get in our own way and shift the blame with pride.
