This is the third time I've returned home and told my friends about some new guy I've met in some crazy place and fallen in love with. And it's the third time they've scoffed it off, no one caring enough to ask about it because they "knew" it wouldn't last. Some said it out loud, which drove me crazy.
We all want to believe it is going to work out, no matter what country or what circumstances. Love conquers all, right?
Well, it doesn't work. If I were more rational or less masochistic, I would stop trying. But, unfortunately, there is nothing better than those moments when it is working. Everything Roy Orbison ever said was right.
So here I am, eating one of a million meals alone, letting Chuck Berry and Joni Mitchell try to convince me that it's all worth it. Well, I'm not listening today, Joni. What the hell do you know anyway?
If there is one thing I can say about dating while globetrotting, it's this – you're still alone. And you're going to wind up feeling more alone.
With that, here are the songs I'm listening to today. Call it a "wallow mix."
Can't You See - Marshall Tucker Band
Rye Whiskey - As sung by Pete Seeger
Save Me - Amy Mann
