eye will never be the same...

i receive this facebook message early this morning from my eyebrow lady
"I wanted to inform all of you that I will no longer be working in DC because I have taken a full time position in Tysons Corner, VA providing the same services"

Now, to all of you who are not from the district, tysons corner is about a 30 min drive, which is equivalent to about a kazillion miles to any dc'ite. so yeah, she left me.

i feel betrayed. i feel lost. i feel unloved. and yes, she's just my eyebrow lady. but you don't understand. i loved this woman! she made me feel special. after a session with her, i felt unstoppable! do you know how many times people would walk up to me and ask " who DOES your eyebrows?" ALOT. real figure: maybe 3, 4... one including my mom.

she would always shriek with excitement when i walked into the room " hey beautiful! ill be with you in a one minute". and she adored my eyebrows! she would often rave over my natural arch "i LOVE your arch! don't let anyone touch them ever!".

and i didn't! i was committed! i dont think ive ever been this committed to anyone before. i mean, even during rough times. like when she overbooked and couldnt see me the same night i had a date with this awesomely beautiful man. or when she couldn't see me on the night before new years eve bc my flight from new orleans to dc was delayed. that was the ONLY time i strayed. and , boy, the guilt i had. it took me 4 weeks to show my face to her . my eyebrows had gotten to the point where people mistook me for frida kahlo. i remember that day so vividly. i walked in, palms sweaty, body shaking, looked up, and there she was , with a big smile " i missed you, honey!".i thought then that we would last forever. that our love would conquer any challenge! but i guess it wasn't strong.

i would be foolish to not admit the signs. oh, there were signs. like the past month, she cut down her days at the dc salon, from tuesday-thursdays to only thursdays. but i refused to admit what was happening.

and worst of all, she did it via facebook message. i mean i atleast deserved a phone call!

i know i should jus move on and find another person. but its not that easy. i need time. so please refrain from setting me up with someone new. respect that she was special to me and wont be easily replaced.
