Drinking Chocolate Milk in a Wine Glass
Now that I’m the “mature” age of 26, I believe it’s appropriate to drink chocolate milk in a wine glass. Yes you read correctly, not a mug or a cup, but a wine glass. Sometimes when life gets in down, you don’t need a fab glass of cab or pinot grio but good old chocolate milk. So as I’m downing my third glass, my mind runs on tangents about life and where the heck it’s going. I begin to think and analyze about my past relationship that existed for 7 years which crashed and burned like a divorce gone wrong. Making me ask the Universe if Prince Charming came around, would it even last happily ever after, forever and ever?!
However, life is not a Disney movie or fairytale…in real life Sleeping Beauty woke up from the Prince’s kiss and went on her merry way to fund a charity foundation that protected all those animals in the forest that helped and Cinderella got her other glass slipper back by the Prince but traded them for a black pair of Louboutins that matched with her outfits for conference meetings at the castle. In real life, my BFF and I have gotten into deep discussion about marriage and when will it happen, or are we gonna be a batch of single thirty something Sex and the City chicks with a bunch of lovers going in and out of our lives?
As I got to my fourth glass of choco milk, the thought of the LOVERS came into play. We all got a deck cards (ok maybe not a deck, but like a couple of cards) that we keep on hold or actually put into play. Some of them are like hangovers, there’s a reminder of them but you don’t really know how it happened and you’re pretty sure you don’t want it again. Others are like your favorite pair of jeans, you can’t give them away and they always make you feel good but you only can wear them to certain places. Then there’s a few that are like a first kiss, exciting that you can’t get enough and the thought of them just consumes your daily thinking challenging you to stay one your toes (in a good way). Maybe the lovers in our lives are lovers from a past life reconnecting and trying to make it work this time around in this life time. So hopefully we can all get it right this time around.
In the end, it’s all about TIMING and somehow the Universe works it’s Disney magic to put two people in the right place at the right time. Maybe it’ll work and maybe it won’t but life’s about trial and error, making it such a beautiful struggle (what a paradox huh?!) Or just maybe the Universe keeps us on our toes, challenging us to keep trying for love. For now I’ll let the Universe handle things and enjoy another cold glass of chocolate milk…in a wine glass that is :)
