The Sweet Victory

If you are of the normal human-being population, we've all found ourselves in situations where someone completely obliterated the light within us: ultimate rejection...... resulting in secret hopes of one day: sweet victory.

Well, here's to an absolutely true story we can all secretly relate to and wholeheartedly celebrate with. Whether this finds you happily single, recently broken hearted, securely married, hot on the pursuit, or perfectly ..... you ... cuddle close and soak up this award winning true life victory.....a story not my own.........

The dreaded Ex just walked in. Due to your reagnited glow they instantly spot you from amongst the crowd. For some strange-incomprehensible reason they think they still own the seat directly next to you.... the one they threw away.

While engaging in directionless conversation with the Ex, the new and improved 'love' maneuvers their way over. In all his grand and unquestionable glory announces without a shadow to doubt, "Ummm, can you move over!!!"........ in such a way that all girls around raise their hands and sing praises to the highest!!! The new and improved has no idea who this seat-snatcher is; totally oblivious to the sweet victory he just awarded!!!

The staunchy Ex is totally blind-sighted, shaken from the sudden blow off the enticing spot he once occupied but now has to surrender. He moves over in complete disbelief. Only he is not the only person bewildered. In your heart as he moves, you know that even 'Sex and the City' could not have drawn up a better scene. No pre-arranged setup, not a result of bitter rage, no intentional hurting of feelings, but just the laws of....... happenstance.

As the camera zooms out and the lights begin to fade, in this moment, the Ex ends up scooching over next to your best friend who offers painfully discrete details as to who this new dream is. The Ex remains rigid on the edge of their seat sulking in defeat. Your eyes glimmer as you nestle back into the hunky arms of your new 'love'.

Here's to happenstance!
