Keeping it Together


Let's face it, the whole time Josh was away I was a complete mess! For a whole month, I don't even think I moved off the couch.

I had the same routine everyday:
1) wake up & shower (brush teeth etc.)
2) eat, that's if I had an appetite
3) stalk his life
4) wait for a phone call
REPEAT

But then I realized... This guy is having the time of his life! What the hell am I doing sitting on a fucking couch for Christ's sake! So I started doing things for me. Starting with the gym, maybe three times a week? I figured out ways to make myself feel beautiful even if he wasn't around to kiss me on my forehead and tell me that I was. I guess you could say I kinda sorta went through a personality crisis. But hey! Who said this experience was life changing for just him? Pretty soon I was on my way to a whole new me!! Tighter body, different hair, new attitude. This was going to be the BIGGEST summer of his life, why was I wasting mine? Time called for a trip to the shore ( yes, the Jersey shore.) I don't mean the Jersey shore with all the guidos & guidettes, but North Wildwood. Even though it was only with family, baking on the beach in my itty bitty bikini didn't sound so horrible! On the other side it did. I had to go back to the place where me and him had shared some of our first memorable moments. I wasn't so sure if I was ready to go back without him..

Welcome to Reality.
