Daily Insight: Getting Off Next Exit



A funny thing happens when you get into a relationship that you didn’t really see coming. You kind of are put on this highway where the person whose pushing the relationship is in one car in front of you, and you’re following. Then there’s always that moment when you get in front of them, because you’re now invested, and like this feeling.

Then it happens, that other person gets off the next exit without telling you, and you’re left driving along all by yourself. You’re not quite sure what happened when you finally look up in the rearview mirror, but you know it’s not good. They start communicating less. Spending less time. The affection dissipates. And you’re confused as hell.

You start to back track and ask all the questions that you already know the answer to in the back of your head, but need validation about anyway. The hardest part of it all is that you have to realize that when you started driving out in front you didn’t take the time to look up and see if their blinker was on or not.

And so you come to the point where you know what has happened and now you must deal. But the great thing is when you keep driving that exit that person got off at will eventually be a thing of the past. So far away you can no longer see it in your rearview. So keep driving..
