Breaking up Is Hard to Do
Breaking Up
Have you ever broken up with a person or broken up with some thing? It's hard to do, isn't it? It all has to do with change.
People like constants in their lives. Sitting in the same place in class/church/on the bus/subway. When I was taking psychology courses, the instructor made us move to a different seat after we had found our own seats, our comfort zone, for 2-3 weeks.
Even a silly change like that is disturbing! It's like breaking up with the people around you--you're used to them, and now you're sitting by other people you've never been this "close" to before. It's crazy, yet we're creatures of habit.
I was selecting seating on 12 different planes for 12 different flights, and you know what? I was doing the same thing. Picking out seats in the same spots for virtually every flight. And then? Someone was sitting in my seat on two of them!
Or watching a favorite show and all of a sudden the series takes off in a totally different direction and you're not willing to go that way?
I don't normally think about where the highway narrows from four lanes to three on the way home because for years--about 12--a second overpass warns me to move over to the left as the lane turns from two to one. Twice now, I've forgotten to move over because? No overpass!!!! In the middle of the night, they took it down!!!
I suspect they intend to widen the highway to four lanes through there, yet it's one of those icons that tells my brain that I need to do something. Sure there's a sign that tells me to move over, but the overpass is much more visible. Or has been. Was.
When my dad asked if we wanted to move, I was always ready. So it's not like I'm a total stick in the mud.
But when it comes to food, same thing. Have you ever gone to a restaurant, looking forward to your favorite special dish they ALWAYS serve and the only one you've REALLY gotten hooked on and...horrors, they've removed it from the menu? You can look everywhere, ask your server, beg the cook, but it's gone. And you're stuck with having to try something new.

In Dead of the Night Allan Thompson had to break up with his unfaithful wife after nine years of marriage and now he's back to taking care of another woman who needs his protection. Only breaking up with her isn't in the plans.

Have you ever felt like breaking up with something or someone, is totally discombobulating? [image error]
