Last night I went with my friend, K, to what she had hoped would have been her final fitting of her wedding dress. The wedding is next Friday - - so soon! The dress is beautiful, and she looks beautiful in it.

Another friend has just ended a two and a half year relationship. He proposed (as expected), she freaked out, he moved out. That’s the short version of the story, to be sure.

All of this relationship talk seems to have seeped into my subconscious. I had a bizarre dream last night. I was married, but there were people there from the past that I had once been in a relationship with. There was one in particular that I feel like I hurt very badly and I felt a strong need to explain myself, and apologize. Is this my brain’s way of telling me that I should reach out to a guy I haven’t seen in 10+ years? I doubt it. I feel more like the message is that I should look back on that time and that relationship and learn from it. What do you, dear internet, think?
