In a New York minute...

It's funny how things turn out.  How when you plan something but never take into account the reaction that may occur.  Like Newton's famous third law... for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.   When I left upstate things were great; my friends threw me a kick-ass going away party, my ex-boyfriend and I still talked everyday, and everyone generally was happy with my plans to move to NY.  

A month and a half later...

My friends all hate me, my ex and I stopped talking several weeks ago, and i pretty much feel forgotten about.  My so-called friends have "ganged-up" on me in order to further solidify their own friendships.  It's interesting how that happens with female relationships.  Since I wasn't around to defend myself they were able to collectively decide I was some terrible person from something completely stupid, mundane and downright irrelevant.  Something that if given a chance to defend myself would truly be a non-issue.  I am so glad they afforded me that luxury.........(sarcasm) 

The no talking to the ex thing I think is still a step in the right direction.  Though tonight as I chatted with my mother on the phone I learned that he was over at my parents helping them open their pool.  Ummmm..... WTF?!  Yea I realize that he was like a family member... and that he agreed to it before we broke up.... but really?!  noo really?!  I never wanted to call him so badly.  I just wanted to call him up and be like.."so you helped out and had a bbq with my parents...how'd that go?!"  But the truth in the matter is that talking to him will make me think of him more, thinking of him more will make me miss him more, and missing him more will just totally defeat the purpose!  Yes I know I rant and rave about him often but I everyday I think of him less and am happy with myself more.

Things can truly change in a New York minute.... perhaps even your entire life.

On a better and more fun note.....

I am still making more and more new friends.  I am always out and about the city with my girls or boys.  Going out clubbing, bar-hopping, and even attending free speech rallies in Union Square.  And I am still dating Mr. London... last week... we had the most amazing date at a carnival in Central Park!  It was a work function for him so it was open bar everything and I met many of his co-workers.  

Although my life upstate is shaky.... in a NY minute I have found new things to fill the void. 

...And I still haven't regretted moving... not even for minute
