Two Brand-New Sports Cars

Once upon a time i met this fantastic guy, the kind of guy every woman dreams of meeting. He was kind, funny, sweet, caring, etc. you get the picture. I thought to myself, "Wow! This is all just too good to be true". Oh, how right I was.

One of my new all time favourite books, which I cannot reccomend highly enough is called "It's Called a Breakup because it's Broken" by Greg Behrendt & Amiira Routola-Behrendt. It is a homourus and straight-to-the-point book to get you out of your breakup depression and back into the game. One quote that particularaly stands out to me now is this:

"When you and your ex got into this relationship you were like two brand-new sports cars driving side by side. You were sleek, desirable, sexy, and confident, and the ride was exhilarating. After a while you zigged when he zagged, you weren't driving the same speed anymore, one of you was always trying to catch up, and eventually you crashed and totaled the cars. When insurance paid out, one of you decided to buy a new car instead of fixing the totaled one." http://itscalledabreakupbecauseitsbroken.com/

When I first read this, all I could think was, "What a load of bullshit. Right, like dating is the same as driving a car". However, now that I am further along the road to happiness then I was before, I realize that there is actually truth in that statement. The pathetic bastard I used to call my boyfriend no longer feels any desire to try and fix our relationship, so why should I be waiting around for him to change his mind? There's plenty of other sports cars out there! All different shapes, colours, sizes and speeds! Why should I have to sit around in my crashed car at the side of the road, waiting for him to pull over and pick me up?

Ladies, get out of your post-breakup slump. Throw on some clean clothes, do up your hair and walk- no RUN to the nearest car lot! There are tons of different models for you to try out and find the one that works for you. And what better way to say "Fuck you" to the asshole, who left you totalled at the side of the road, then to flip him off as you zoom by him in a shiny new sports car.

Happy shopping
