And The Plot Thickens...
-----------------------
Story of my life
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
Cause it seems that wrong
Really loves my company

That's the difference between life and movies. For two hours we devour the film's tragedies and triumphs. Yet, once the credits roll, that's it. There is a happy ending and we are given closure. In most cases, thankfully, we won't need to think about it again.
But in life, no matter how 'final' something may seem, there is a sequel. A trilogy. A fourth installment. An ongoing loop.
I received a text from a-once-best-friend who I'd been resenting for the whole of this year. My resentment for her didnt come out of hate, more out of hurt. At a time when I needed her the most, her support was turned away. Out of the blue, she wanted to meet up for coffee. Either someone had a talk with her about patching things up with me, or something has happened that's forced her to do so. Either way, I was happy to meet her.
It was awkward conversation for a while, until she revealed her motivation for the meet. The ex is now with the best friend. I thought to myself, hasn't this been done before? Haven't I watched this movie before?
I don't think I was hurt, more or less, I expected something like this to happen. It seemed logical almost. The ex had always been a tension in our friendship, as she had been in the relationship between the ex and I. But then it didn't make any sense. He used to taunt her, bitch about her, make her seem insignificant. Did he lie? Or is there a motive to his change of heart?
For months and months now, I've been trying to patch things up with the ex. Yet everytime I try, he pushes me away. I start to question myself, why do I even need to? After all this time, was I still his victim? Had I not broken free yet? Do I enjoy being hurt? Why can't I just hate him and be done with it?
I'm not sure how these questions will find their answers. All that I know is that my movie has not yet ended. After all, this is only the sequel.

Only 30 days left and I can feel the goosebumps rise thinking about the
trip. We've been planning it since February (after our trip to the Gold
Coast). Felix has meticulously kept an eye on me to save my moolah.
I've got $3500 down pat, so its time to
speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend since sales are on.
