a fight with the boyfriend
seeing friends at a church event, but they see through me
succumbing to polite conversation with acquaintances
overhearing another acquaintance on the phone with a mutual friend as she closes me out and asks if there's room for her to sit with them at the event...
not even knowing those friends would be there, because we don't spend time together anymore
watching people ten years my junior walk in with their husbands and babies
seeing married friends enjoying the evening with their spouses and in-laws
escaping as soon as i can, because it's silly to be crying over these things
just silly
