Curate, connect, and discover
That's why God made this blorbo of a blog site. Keep writing. Soon, this grief will become indistinguishable from the rest.
I used to be so in love I’d stay up all night with her to watch the sunrise and now I only see her in my dreams
I love him,
In the late hours of the night.
When the silence around starts to feel like home,
I love him.
When the dawn approaches in the horizon,
looking so hazy and confused,
I love him.
The slow call of the nightingale breaks my train of thoughts about him.
But still, I continue to love him.
He exists in the abandoned corners of my mind.
And he is there, always smiling when I close my eyes.
The silhouettes made by the moonlit night,
somehow ends up looking like him.
And when I trace my fingers across the shadows formed,
I love him.
For some reason, he seems to be everywhere I look.
And for some reason, I always love him, every single time.
I love him,
like the favourite quote of mine stuck in my head.
I love him,
like the soft melody of the first rain.
I love him,
like he had loved me.
In darkness and in silence.
But never in each other's presence.
Love is dead.
Well, their love is dead, at least. As followers of the blog remember, we all spent a significant amount of time together last summer following the trials and tribulations of one Emily Maynard in her quest to find lasting true love in a husband and father for her little girl Ricki.
At the finale, all our hearts swelled as she chose Jef Holm, the hip, formerly Mormon entrepreneur of a fresh water charity (link to it here. because fresh water is the only thing more important that true love) with hair high as the heavens and features like an Elvin Prince.
But now, after a few weeks of hushed rumors that the lovebirds were no longer flocking together, Team Jem has officially released statements confirming our worst fears.
I am a realistic person. I realize that the track record of success in the Bachelor franchise is a terrible, terrible track record. I also acknowledge that the ridiculous circumstances of the show don't exactly lend themselves to preparing couples for a real-world relationship after you've scaled mountains together and had private concerts from EFFING DOLLY PARTON.
But the reason we all watched and rooted for our girl Emily was because they got us to care. We cared about her. And I am so so sad that she has once again come up short. The only thing we can do now is hold our loved ones dear until January rolls around and we can have the same thrilling experience when Sean is our Bachelor.

RIP LOVE. And best of luck to Emily Maynard and her adorable moppet.
