I am the queen of bad decisions.
If I said that to my friends, they would tell me I was being too harsh.
Rosa, who trains at my gym, would cluck her tongue and scold me for
being so down on myself. Annie, the ESL teacher who lives in the building
around the corner, would grab a piece of paper and start making a list of all
the smart decisions I’ve made to counter the narrative.
But they’re my friends—being supportive is in the job description. I
know what I know. As evidence, I present my useless, waste-of-space
partner in this gym, Simon Groff.
I met Simon two years ago, just after my mother died from a long and
debilitating fight with early-onset Alzheimer’s. When she passed away ten
days before Christmas, I was simultaneously relieved that her suffering had
come to an end and also more than a little shellshocked.
I had been her primary caregiver, and until the very end, my days had
been full of all the things I needed to do for my mom. Then she died, and I
had nothing to distract me from the emptiness. Everything in the apartment
I shared with her was a reminder that she was no longer around. I taught
part-time MMA classes, but the gym I worked at was closed until the new
year.
Rome was cold, damp, and miserable, and I just wanted to escape. I
wanted to run away from it all and spend a week in the sun, drinking
margaritas on a beach while I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest
of my life.
So I did.
I took a plane to Tenerife on Christmas Day, and I met a guy as soon as
I arrived at my resort.
The years of caregiving had worn me out, and I felt pale and invisible.
But Simon flirted with me. We spent a lot of time together. We were the
only two regular attendees of the early morning yoga class the resort
offered. We drank margaritas on the beach, and of course, we slept together.
That, by itself, wasn’t the bad decision. Vacation flings, I understand.
I even forgive myself for confiding in Simon, telling him about how I
felt stuck and in a rut. Simon was, in those days, a good listener. “What do
you want to do with your life?” he asked. “What is stopping you from living
the life of your dreams?”
