An Honest Update

Broken Heart Status: Mending
You know what helps a person with a shattered heart? Flying 3,500 miles east to visit her bestest lady-friends. They will cheer her up. They will take her shopping. They will make her cookies and pesto pizza. They will rent Fame and Flashdance and imitate cool moves for her amusement. They will come up with a hilarious game called “Sleepy Eggs” wherein the three friends find themselves fake-sleeping in absurd places and photographing it. The car will break down, and Miss Heartbreak will gleefully hitchike to help her friend make her train, then hitch back to the car solo. They will administer tough-love, reminding her that at 25 she’s got a lotta lovin’ ahead of her. They will not be too hard on the heartbreaker, but won’t let him off the hook either. Miss Heartbreak will return to the West Coast feeling much more confident and optimistic. She will Google old flames and strike up a flirtation with a man at the coffeeshop. She will still feel the loss of her lover, especially in the mornings. And just before falling asleep. And in the car. But it’s not as bad as before.
