My heart won't go on.
Right, so...today I'm biting the bullet and breaking things off with Alex in Arizona. The unrealistic expectations of building a relationship with someone in another state were lofty in the first place, and now seem impossible with the introduction of blossoming romance with Matt. Letting people down gently has always been a difficult task, made even more tremendous by the fact that I know he's wrapped himself around our far-fetched "partnership." Regardless, it's required that I face the facts and lay down the truth; I mustn't pay mind to the fact that, indeed, a heart will break because, ultimately, it was going to happen anyway.
Beyond that transition, I find myself going through image overhaul these days. The inspiration for such a change remains shrouded in mystery, but I'm pretty happy with where things are going. The eyebrow piercing was done on a whim, a decision made whilst using the captain's chair at the gym. Indeed, abdominal exercises drove me into body mutilation. I'm sure I'll be on the pectoral fly when I decide to get my next piercing; an industrial through the ear. Gratitude to Agustin for that suggestion.
Things with Mathew are progressing blissfully. In a fantastic stroke of luck, he signed a lease for an apartment today, conveniently located across the street from my own apartment! Okay...so, sure, a lot of people may quip about it being slightly stalker-esque, but I'm excited to have him as a neighbor. I'll be ringing his bell to borrow a cup of sugar six times a day, yes, but at least now I'll have someone to enjoy this unexplored world of Japantown with. I've lived in this area for a year and a half now, and I've only once ventured to Bamboo 7 Karaoke Bar on one inebriated evening. A wealth of sushi joints and quaint knick-knack shops await me...why didn't all of this happen to me earlier?
Life is wonderful.
