Chapter 23: When Destiny Calls

I push open the bathroom door, slam both hands down on the bathroom counter, and look at myself in the mirror. What are you doing, Hannah? My emotions are playing a tug of war. You're engaged, in love, confident in your decision to be with Christian-even though, yes, it did all happen very fast... I look at my left hand and its empty ring finger...I need to pee.

I sit on the toilet, my hair buried in my hands. I rub my scalp. Why is this so hard? I love Christian, I want to be with Christian, but... Why am I still attracted to this man? Yes, he's rich and powerful, and he rides around on private planes and yachts, and looks really good in a suit...but he's also selfish, obsessed with his business, and fixed, because he already has a family. He's not even a good kisser. I grab some toilet paper, wipe, and pull my pants back on.

Washing my hands, I look in the mirror again. I should have never agreed to this "date." But if I can't handle a breaking-up-with-someone date, maybe I shouldn't be getting married. You're just getting cold feet, Hannah. Pull yourself together, stop drinking the magical imported Japanese wine, and break up with the guy!

Open to Possibilities

A few days ago I received a request from a lovely Twitter follow to answer a few questions for her dissertation. And you know me, one of my favorite things to do is ask and answer questions…even if it’s about unscrupulous things.

Q. How do you secure a date and make yourself desirable?

A. I think the only way to “secure” dates, if there is such a thing, is to keep yourself open to all possibilities. Often people create ideas in their head about the perfect partner, and turn down everyone that doesn’t meet exactly what’s in their head. I’m not saying you aren’t entitled to your desires or certain standards, or even that you should settle, but dating should be about saying “yes” more often than “no”.

A proper life update is coming soon, I promise. Meanwhile, I’m hanging out at the BLVD Hotel, taking this morning to work on a book project that has nothing to do with Sex, Life, & Hannah…but is just as exciting. Have an amazing weekend lovers, xoxo, D:)

You Keep Me Running

by hannah

Your words alone
Could drive me to a thousand tears
All the same words
That kept me here for all the years

I’m lost again, it’s happening
When you’re around I just go weak
All I wanna know, is it mutual
Then I never want to leave
Then I’m ready to run, ready to fall
Think I’m ready to lose it all
And I’m ready to run, ready to fall
Think I’m ready to lose it all

Keep me running, you keep me running
Keep me running, you keep me running

You keep me…
