I love the combination of Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty. I feel like they have both been there before; that they have both felt the pain of heartbreak and, well, life.

“I know you really want to tell me goodbye.  I know you really want to be your own girl.”

They are a perfect collaboration; the steely yet feminine voice of Stevie combined with Tom’s crackly distinct wail pairs together instantly. We’ve all been there – holding on to a relationship by the ragged strings knowing it would be better to just close the door.  Why won’t you just break it off? Why come back into my life right when I have moved on?  It’s all too common.  And one that I have tried with all my might not to perform on someone else.

Today I was faced with a question from a friend about a date she went on:  She met this guy on an online dating site – more and more of my friends, myself included, have dabbled with new form of “blind dating.”  They went on a date and she knew that there was nothing there. However, when he emailed her today to say that “there was no spark” but that he would like to be friends, she took it to mean she wasn’t good enough.  In truth, I commend him for being upfront and honest and not wasting her time.  Wouldn’t it be easier if we just stopped dragging each other on longer than we should?  I guess I want to believe that when you know, you know.  It doesn’t mean you aren’t pretty/hot enough. It doesn’t mean you aren’t intelligent, talented, successful, thin enough, muscular enough, etc.  If it isn’t there, if the spark just isn’t there, why continue?
