Hi MissMindy,

I think some part of you can’t believe that HE broke up with YOU. On paper it doesn’t make sense. You’re the stable one with a career and a house and are moderate. You are the one who’s a catch next to him.

But you are literally too good for him. And it was his own lifestyle that ended it. The not-so-young-anymore gypsy apprentice who parties like a college dude. Or tries to.

And the ex? That’s part of the mystique for him. His best friend’s girl, the one who got away. There is a reason they are ex’s. Even if your worst fears are realized and they get back together, SHE will remember why they broke up in the first place. Remember, SHE is probably turning thirty about now and will have more grown up ambitions on her mind that HE won’t be congruent with until he’s at LEAST forty. (And by then she’ll be long gone, with teenage children from another guy).

So, sister, get up and get back to work. You are a nurse, a healer. That is your calling. By healing others, you will heal yourself.

Best,

Inky
