With each reunion (we) had to learn each other all over again. There was always that nervous moment at the airport when I would stand there waiting for him to arrive, wondering, Will I still know him? Will he still know me?
Elizabeth GilbertProblem is, you canโt accept that his relationship had a real short shelf life. Youโre like a dog at the dump, baby โ youโre just lickinโ at the empty tin can, trying to get more nutrition out of it. And if youโre not careful, that canโs gonna get stuck on your snout forever and make your life miserable. So drop it.โ โBut I love him.โ โSo love him.โ โBut I miss him.โ โSo miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it.
Elizabeth GilbertWell, I always tried to look nice and be feminine even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there's no reason to add to everyone's misery by looking miserable yourself. That's my philosophy. This is why I always wore makeup and jewelry into the jungle-nothing too extravagant, but maybe just a nice gold bracelet and some earrings, a little lipstick, good perfume. Just enough to show that I still had my self-respect.
