S.O.S.
In the words of Rihanna, “S.O.S., please someone help me.”
I am freaking out! Mr. Vanilla’s sister, Bridget, recently contacted me about writing tips. She wrote:
Hey Alexis - This is Bridget (blast from the past I know!). Wasn’t sure how to get in touch with you and remembered this website. Sounds like things are going well for you, black dress and all! I wanted to ask you a few questions and your writing and so on for a friend of mine trying to get into that. If it isn’t beyond twilight zone for you, could you drop me a line? Hope to hear from you!
I adore Bridget. We have so much in common and share the same self-deprecating sense of humor. I truly hoped that she would become my sister-in-law one day.
Post break-up, I helped my ex-boyfriend’s other sister apply to AmeriCorps (an amazing non-profit organization I was a part of). Now this sister is asking me for insights.
Mira, I’m always down to help people out. I randomly meet with aspiring writers to give them advice. I give homeless peeps my leftover food. I smile at strangers.
But this ex-boyfriend is so freaking lame and I honestly just don’t want to have anything to do with him. He broke up with me in such a lame way, lying about needing space when he actually left me for another chica. Plus, he never bothered to return my belongings, even after I asked like mil veces.
It’s not like I don’t talk to my other exes. I still chat with them and try to help them out with girls, jobs, life or whatever. I just need to lavar mis manos from Mr. Vanilla because he’s a shady mofo.
Does this make me sound immature? I don’t want to be beyatch but I’d kind of like to just ignore Bridget – is that wrong? What should I do? I really need your help!
Un Abrazo Fuerte,
Alexis
Lex, think about why Bridget is looking for you now. She remembered the website? Really? Not to dismiss any of your accomplishments, but why you? Surely there are other mentors she can go to.
Sounds to me like she is hoping for a “Hookup” of her own into the magazine you work for. I love your blogs, keep us all wondering what’s next. M
Guero is so lame he coerced his sister to contact you in the hopes of one day seeing you again; typical of losers who realize they lost a good thing. My ex, who broke up with me by moving out of the apt. we shared in San Francisco one day while I was at work, hit me up via Facebook recently. Seeing I looked happy in love 8 years later, he asked if he could see me when he’s in town next month. I immediately deleted his message, changed my default picture to me kissing my boo, and finally got him back for causing the biggest heartbreak I’ll ever feel.
LEX,
I say, dont help her. I am sure she can contact someone else. Especially since her brother did u wrong. Why should u help her. Granted she didnt do it to you, but come on. Why all of a sudden the interest? I think her bro has a motivation in it. He probably realized what a great thing he had and how much he misses u. And his way back into your life is with his sister. You could play along just to see what it is she really wants. But you have to do it with your eyes open. What is it with guys and breaking your heart treating you dispensible then coming back when ever they feel like it? Mujers am i right? and they always try and be sly about it.
Interesting theories ladies….I really don’t think her brother/my ex-boyfriend has anything to do with it. As far as he’s concerned he wanted to erase me from his life so if anything, he probably doesn’t even know she contacted me.
I think I’m just going to ignore her and move on with my life…I just don’t want any negativity in my life anymore!
ayy pal carajo….dejalos en paz, y que te dejen en paz….
