I am a sap, sitting here sobbing over the movie, Love Actually. Emma Thompson’s performance in her role as Karen rips out my heart. Each time I watch this show, from the moment she says, “Be careful there,” I am moved by how she so convincingly portrays utter heartbreak. Perhaps it is because I have been there, done that. I feel it… deep down in my heart, that discovery of betrayal and the realization that the crashing sound is my dreams hitting the ground. I feel the fear laced with anger fresh and aching in my gut. I feel that heartbreak and I remember it.
Another reason why I have chosen to stay alone for so long…. and one that I hope will soon fade enough for me to forget the pain and open my arms.
