the british have an adjective...
Gutted.
one of the greatest things about living over here was learning that word.
it is the exact description of how i felt last night.
i was leaving the club walking down the stairs when a hand grazed my stomach. i looked up into those jake gyllenhaal eyes and there it was, gutted.
recap, his name is scott. we met at a club, a few days later spent about 48 hours together, he proclaimed he could see himself spending the rest of his life with me, i actually had feelings for him...then abby and i went to Paris for a few days. in that time he "had time to forget about me." naturally i was a little upset but he decided to string me around for about a month. texts here, texts there, "i can't see you right now, i'm too messed up emotionally." i met another guy and finally stopped replying to his nonsense.
i have photos of him in my photo portfolio. i see his picture all the time. it never bothered me. i think about him everytime i walk by his work. it doesn't bother me. he's just another person that made a stamp on my life.
lat night, he could have just walked on by. instead, he touched me. he held my hand thru the whole 2 minute conversation. he said he had been watching me earlier.
he reduced me to a little, gutted pulp of a human being.
i shouldn't have but i did. i got home and i texted him, saying it was rather funny running into him. he replied saying it was good to see me and it made him wonder why he had ignored me.
all i needed was reaffirmation that the event actually happened.
now, looking back, it all seems so surreal. but now, it almost feels good to have been taken down a few pegs. a little reminder that i'm human.
so that's me. just had to get it off my chest and out there.
