Staring across the room with stars in your eyes as he casually flirts with his latest interest, checking your phone every hour to find absolutely no new messages, putting on a brave face when you run into him at the grocery store only to melt into a puddle as you drive away. These are the harsh realities of unrequited love.
Perhaps it is best described in The Holiday, just before Iris finds out the love of her life is engaged to another woman.
Yeah, what about the rest of us? How do we deal with this reality on a practical level? Do we grab a brew or send a 911 to the crew? Our best answer - a little bit of both. Your trusted friends will know how to offer encouragement and convince you that you're better off, because you are. However, some nights (usually the ones when you stumble across an old voicemail and are sent into a tailspin that gives Iris a run for her money) simply require a few drops of tequila. Amen?
