The Girl in the Purple Scarf


Hi –

That was me today. Apparently that last time I wore my purple scarf I also spritzed myself with your perfume so all day I was smelling you. It was nice.

Saw the Judester today. I always think about not going to her anymore, but then the next thing I know it’s less than 24 hours till my next appointment and that’s to late to cancel, so I go.

We were having a really good session I thought. There was the usual give and take, the conversation was moving along nicely. Then we get to a lull and she brings up the boy thing again. I had told her earlier how I’m pretty set on moving to Orlando, so during the lull her prompt to me was something along the lines of, ‘do you think moving to Orlando will lead to you dating more’ or something equally as ridiculous. It’s just frustrating because I’m not sure how many other ways I can tell this woman that I don’t make decisions based on the prospect of meeting a man. I’ve never been like that. And I doubt that now – 26 years into my life I’m going to change.

Perhaps I’m looking at this whole thing the wrong way. Maybe this is the way that the world things about things. Most women make decisions based off men, and vice versa. That would make me one of the exceptions and Judy’s questions normal.

Is that really the case? That the majority of women in this world make life decisions based on the hope that they will meet a tall dark and handsome man. That makes me a bit sad about the state of women in the world.

Love you forever, miss you always.
Rachel
