a conversation via text with one of my dearest friends.
elle: take the overall feeling (of being sad from the breakup), wrap it up in a box, and give it to God. package it nicely and tie it with a bow. and then offer your pain up as a gift.
moi: i'm trying but it keeps saying return to sender.
elle: well, maybe you haven't put the right postage amount on it. or maybe you don't want to let it go.
moi: i think that's true. it's like finding the perfect dress. great price, color, everything. but the fit is slightly off, it's those damn european sizes! i don't want to let it go because i think i will be able to make it work one day. so i just keep it in the closet.
elle: right, what you really need to do is give it to the goodwill. or a consignment shop. depending on if you think the dress was designer or not. so someone else can enjoy it!
moi: well, it was made in france, so it's definitely going to a consignment shop.
elle: i know it's hard, but you've already started by pulling it out of your closet and even putting it in a bag. now, you gotta drop it off, otherwise you will just keep thinking about it.
elle: next time when you are at the store and the dress does not fit, we have to leave it on the rack and walk away.
Lesson Learned:
No matter how great the dress may be or how great you may look in it,
if the fit is slightly wrong, don't take any chances. return it immediately before it splits...
this is so true!
