have you ever seen runaway bride?
julia roberts' character finally falls for the right guy (richard gere), but ultimately she runs away.
why?
because she doesn't know what kind of eggs she likes.
it's a common problem for women. we sometimes forget who we are, or we never find out. instead we become what we think our boyfriends or husbands want us to be.
some women stop doing things, saying things, dressing certain ways. we tuck our identities away in a spiffy hope chest to pass on to our daughters.
it is much, much easier to pack away dreams than throwing on the brakes and cooking fifteen varieties of eggs.
everyone does not suffer this fate. i bow down and commend their strength and conviction.
but, to those of us who have dropped a few eggs and broken too many hearts, i like omelets. how about you?
