Week Seven

"You've just been having a week seven." He said.

"What's that mean, a week seven, I've never heard of that before?" He asked back.

"It's a space of time, after an event, that things begin to sink in. Usually after something traumatic happens. In your case, a breakup. You said it was ugly for you, and that it was somewhat traumatic, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, it was traumatic. I couldn't live my life without fear of some sort or retaliation. I see what you're saying. Yes! That must be what it is... HA! A week seven!!" He laughed out loud, relieved that he had made it to his week seven. There for awhile he didn't think he'd make it through a week at all.

"It's a psychological plateau, so to speak. The mind takes time to accept and process things. It's usually about week seven that you accept things and begin to process them. Does that make sense??"

"God this man is brilliant and somewhat sexy!" He thought, but didn't dare say out loud. Instead he answered. "Yes, yes, that makes perfect sense!"

His therapist must've been through his fair share of week sevens. For he knew just what he was talking about.

Week seven was a tough one, but a plateau of relief as well.

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
