Waking Up
When I was 23 I thought I was doing a very good job of convincing people that I was attached to any aspect of my life. I went to the local pub, spent weekends with my group of friends in the mountains, and always did my best to keep the mood light and playful. I had it all under control: my drinking problem, my eating disorder, my fear of having my heart broken again. I was always "The Other Woman," actually seeking out emotionally unavailable lovers since it inherently meant no commitment from myself. I was in my friends' lives but made a conscious effort to keep them out of my own. At least, keep them at far enough of a distance so that when they would inevitably disappoint or (as I was convinced they all would) turn their backs on me, I would remain unaffected.
