And you can't pull me down
I just had a catching-up with a trusted and wise friend. We met purely under the pretenses of me having someone who's separated enough from my core friends to give an unbiased opinion about things I needed to know, and we ended up getting reacquainted with each other in the process.
When my break-up was still fresh, sage counsel came from all corners; ranging from sympathetic platitudes to all-around sound life advice. While I was grateful to have others show their concern for me, I wasn't quite ready to accept all the information that was passed my way. My friends that were more well-versed in the ways of relationships were leaning toward the more "Dust yourself off and move on" approach, while I wanted nothing more than to dwell on my loss. Now that I've gone through the motions, I can both see and accept their advice and start afresh.
I've resolved to take the high road with Josh. I tried to reason and he wasn't courteous enough to meet me halfway. Rebuffed as I was, I can say I honestly tried, but know when I'm beat. Just as much as he inspired romantic feelings, Josh also brought out my paternal instincts. So what's a parent to do when their little one is rebelling? Wait around and they'll sure enough come around. I'm by no means intending to sound presumptuous, just it's the best way I can see how to proceed.
Music, as much as my friends, deserves so much credit in brightening my spirits. I am absolutely in love with "Defying Gravity" from Wicked. It's very empowering and since I'm coming off my RENT obsession, I have such a tremendous admiration for Idina Menzel's voice.
Can it be that I'm back to where I was before late October? I think (hope) so! :)
