I Liked Boys Who Wore Abercrombie & Fitch
Let’s take a trip back to the 90s when ‘AF’ meant Abercrombie & Fitch and I liked all the boys who were wearing it. (You can see I had my priorities straight.)
In my early teens I was constantly rejected by the opposite sex until one day, without warning, they were suddenly interested in me. (Huh?) I hadn’t done anything differently, but somehow they were seeing me differently. I found it all very confusing. I went from constantly being rejected by guys to them wanting to date me. I definitely did not see that plot twist coming.
Once I got past the initial fear and confusion of it all, I guess I got used to it. I guess you could say I began to take advantage of and embrace my new found romantic comedy life. I lived with the illusion that it would always be that way.<insert face palm emoji here> I eventually learned the cold hard truth, my romantic comedy life was only for a season, and I was just as single at the end as I was at the beginning.
Now that I am older and wiser I can see what I had back then. Looking forward I know who/what to appreciate and not take for granted. I obviously can’t go back and fix my past relationships, but I can move forward with intention and awareness. That’s the upside to mistakes, they help you make better choices moving forward.
To all the boys I hurt before, I’m sorry. For I knew not what I did. Thank you for all of the romantic gestures, including, but not limited to the promposal (before it was even a thing), poetry, roses in my car, giving me your shirt when I was cold, bringing me soup when I was sick, following me home to make sure I got there alright, and answering my calls at any hour.
Even if I am late to say I appreciated it all, know that I appreciated it all. Thank you for loving me. ; )
