Later That Day I Got to Thinking About Relationships

I just decided I'm going to start writing a semi- fictional "column" for the "New York Star" based on our lives, written in the voice of "Carrie Bradshaw". Or at least a little thing right now.



A few nights ago I was at a party where I came upon a lonely man sitting at a table. I was drawn to him and I began to talk to him when I realized he looked alot like an ex-boyfriend of mine. On the drive home I got to thinking, are we only attracted to the same people over and over again? Is every relationship just a repetition of past love? Are we just looking for the same people over and over again, hoping to right wrongs from previous lives? On the west side, in a repetition of her own, Natalie was still trying to get her new man to stop wearing his dirty socks for a few days at a time. She had tried everything, even washing them over night, but he still insisted on wearing the dirty ones. Maybe we, as humans, just stick to what we know is comfortable, like the socks we were wearing yesterday. We know it works on some level, so why throw it in the laundry basket even though its a little smelly?
