It felt to me like I was making more of an effort than he was, and when I sensed that, I pulled back, not returning his calls or texts because I felt hurt. But none of that mattered, because I knew the truth, which is if someone really wants to see you, they always find a way. Always. That hurt my heart, but I realized, unlike in past relationships when I was younger, it didn't need to be dramatic. Will and I didn't know each other that well; I couldn't even remember if he had any siblings, or what month his birthday was. I knew I had the power to make this a big deal if I wanted to, but the truth is, I wasn't in my twenties anymore-in a good way! Obviously there's a part of all of us who wants to pull a full Courtney Love about every breakup-it's so dramatic and makes you feel like: See?! You'll remember me one way or another, dammit! But spending a lot of time and energy nursing a breakup is just not a good use of my time now. Which is too bad, because if you heard my haunting rendition of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" while I wept in the shower during a breakup, you would be moved as hell.
