This is a continuation of Lesson 44, when I spoke to you about Spring's love-powers.
You see, Spring is here now. Just a few days of light and green growth and we've already forgotten how cold we were and all the scarves we layered up. I hate to tell you this, but the Earth continues to move, and Winter will come back. This means that this love-power is going to go away too.
Which means that a bunch of the couples getting together these fews weeks will be breaking up breaking up as well.
But think about it, everyone has to break up at some point, right?
When I became an annoying pre-teen, my mother got me the little book "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff," which I of course tossed aside for long periods of time. I eventually picked it back up one night when I couldn't sleep and started leafing through it. One little chapter I found was about breaking up and it brought up the question- do you remember that very first person you had a crush on, that very first relationship? I mean the veeeeerrrrry first one, when you both still had braces and you'd just gotten over the whole cooties thing.
Yep, I saw you shiver. You wouldn't date that boy today if someone paid you, would you? Imagine if you'd NEVER broken up with him. If no one broke up, we'd all be stuck with that first person we crushed on.
I would never have existed because my Nana stole my grandfather from his fiancee', to being with. But on a more personal level, that boy I first liked was adorable at four. Now? He's shorter than me. He doesn't play a sport, an instrument, he's not doing so great in school, I mean this kid just isn't that fantastic. I'm sure you can come up with one or two of those kids that you look back at and say "what was I thinking??"
Now you're thinking: thank God for break ups. I want you to enjoy your Spring, bringing you butterflies on your nose and in your tummy, but remember it leaves as quickly as it came!
Curl Girl, out!
