Balancing Act

Press Play

The guy I crashed into last week rang me to pay for his repair and not returning my call… One of my best mates coming to help me and giving the best hug in the world… Feeling a body builders arms wrapped tight around me… Seeing my ex BF early on Thursday morning and feeling decidedly blank… Mr J. visiting me on Thursday and taking me out to lunch… Picking up my car from ex BF and on the receiving end of a hug that lingered too long… Seeing a glimpse of his wife through the dark distance… An unanswered text message to a man… A casual drink with another man… A declined invitation from M. to catch up… A drink set next Friday with a fun guy… A day in front of the television coughing and sneezing clutching on to a box of tissues… A conversation stopper with my second cousin… A night out of cocktails with the girls at Hemisphere… Crossing another venue off in my ‘to do list’… Feeling alone in a crowd of 11 beautiful girls when I only know one… Talking of the good ol’ times and realising they weren’t so good for her… Strolling down stairs and seeing long time familiar faces… Dancing in a corset is hard work… A man kissing my long gloved hand… The beautiful extroverted personalities of new friends… A pending invitation to a girlfriend unanswered… A kiss from a Cuban man… A couple in their mid 50’s requesting my company in their hotel room… My sudden exit… A shared cab ride home with a Melbournian who invited me for lunch the next day… The polite decline… A long sleep in… No gym workout in 7 days… A visit to my mum’s aunt in palliative care… A night at a friends place with a bottle of wine… Almost 2 hours late for work today… An extra strong coffee… Wearing super casual clothes and then realizing my outfits worth thousands… Eager to find out if I still have a job on Friday… Unbelievably nervous with the ‘possible’ renegotiation of my work contract… Life, it must get easier.
