I
think I might be a little insane. I'm definitely an over thinker.
Lets face it this blog wouldn't exist if I wasn't.
But
what has recently brought my sanity into question has been my
research into my new show 'Love Letters and Other PointlessScribbles.' Most of the questions I have asked people have been met
with in-depth stories,and 'Oh my gosh I know exactly what you are
talking about' and more than one person has then ended by asking my
advice on something.
I
guess when you put yourself out there as open to talk about your own
heart break and relationships people think you must have a really
healthy outlook and therefore a little perspective about these
things. I'd like to think that to, and admittedly I am the friend
people come to for advice (they don't call me Mother Bear for
nothing) and I revel in that, however, one question I've been asking
people has been met by pretty blank faces.
What
do you wish you could say to that person that broke your heart?
This
is a fairly open ended question. It could be anything from the quick
witted response you wish you'd come out with in THAT fight to telling
some one that you miss them.
I
don't believe for one minute that when I asked people this question
the answer doesn't pop into their heads straight away. But they
didn't want to tell me, or maybe, they didn't want to admit it to
themselves.
And
yet here I am, basically making a whole show because something went
unsaid.
But
then in a lot of ways this show isn't about having my heart broken
but about how I came to fix it. Maybe not everyone else is at that
point yet. Maybe admitting that some thing went unsaid is admitting
that for you it isn't over.
Or
maybe I'm just insane, but I'm going to think of it as being too
'zen' not necessarily for my sake but for those people that have told
me I'm brave for putting myself out there in a way that makes me
think everyone who has had their heart broken is hoping that one day
they will to get to this point too.
Personally
I'm looking forward to having the zen pulled out from underneath me,
to being so overwhelmed in love that it completely clouds my
perspective on everything.
But
not until after I have finished this show, that, would
be crazy.
