The Fissures of Moving On

As I wrote before, the I Wrote This For You is a profound and beautiful blog and this entry reminded me of myself about two years ago.

My ex boyfriend, L, and I had been broken up for a couple of months and I found that although I was working on moving on, I had started a new job, I was dating (all things that are a recipe to heal a broken heart), small thoughts about him would creep into my head randomly all day long.

I would be getting tea for breakfast at work and I would remember that his favorite is chamomile.

I would cleaning out the dirt underneath my nails and remember that he'd comment on them.

It was as if I was rebuilding my foundation, a life without L, and yet these small insignificant thoughts caused fissures in the cracks of cement that was the material of my reconstruction. I realize now that it meant I hadn't fully moved on but it was haunting none the less.

Help Save Castle!

As I wrote before, I'm a huge fan of ABC's (aka the alphabet channel) murder mystery plus crime dramedy show, Castle.

From what I'm reading out there, so are a lot of other people. But will it be enough to save the show?

I really, really hope so. I personally plan on emailing ABC daily and I already pre-ordered the first season on DVD. Because this show has made my Monday nights so much better and even prevented from grabbing a drink with a date- it's THAT good.

There is a bit of a love story, GREAT sexual tension, some good, believable, healthy family dynamics (Castle is close with his daughter and mother which makes him a more dynamic, interesting, and likable character), and every murder mystery unfolds in an entertaining fashion. I already care about these characters. Plus this show has some of the best writing on television.

Which is a hard thing to find these days among the abundance of reality trashastic shows that are out there.

So please call, email, and write ABC to save the show!

Here are other directions to make sure we keep Castle on the air.

New Favorite Blog: I Wrote This For You

I am one of the many, many people that belong to facebook and one day I was looking at a friend's page and she had a link on her profile page.

I clicked and fell in love with: I Wrote This For You/Please Find This.

It is a heartbreakingly beautiful and profound blog.

Some of my favorite posts that say it better than I wrote for the links:

When you love you care, when you hate you care, indifference means you don't care

When you don't want to move on because it does not seem to be possibility

For when you've broken up with an ex that you still love

What it's like when someone else can find you

If you have forgotten what it's like to feel deeply about someone, go there and you'll remember.

If you don't want to feel alone in your pain, go there.

If you want to be moved, go there.

If you want to remember how someone used to feel strongly about you, go there.

And if you are lucky enough to have someone who loves you and cares for you deeply, go there to live further in the moment.
