On October 27, 1975, Bruce Springstein was profiled in Newsweek. The cover (left) was one of many articles about a man who has changed the face of music forever. Also on this date was born the man who would change my life forever -- my ex-boyfriend.
He and I broke up almost 7 years ago - just two weeks shy of our anniversary and on the exact date we had discussed getting married on someday. I have very little left of that relationship, other than my kitten, who we originally adopted together. I consider my kitten the only good thing to ever come from that relationship. But oddly enough, I have not thought about this man in years. Until now...
Apparently I had set an Amazon.com address book reminder for his birthday and had completely forgotten about it. It came across my email, very innocently, and when I read it, I was floored. Not because I feel any great regret that he and I are no longer together, but that it has been 7 years since we were together.
I started to think of all the time that has passed and how different I was back then. In a lot of ways, my current relationship feels a little bit like that one, but with some major corrections. I have lost track of the friends I made during that time and it does not make me feel empty like it should.
I have hears that your body regenerated all its cells within a 7 period. Now, at my bad math, that would be major changes at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, etc. But could it be that your whole life in general can undergo the same principle? But then does it follow the same schedule or can you track it from your major moments in your life?
For me the 7 factor would not work. But maybe I am on an accelerated schedule, since as I have told some of you, life expectancy amongst men in my family is 50.
