What did I learn from 2009?
1. Never give your heart to someone, they will break it
2. Listen to your guts (and BFFs) when they tell you to dump the guy from the beginning.
3. When you spend the night crying over the guy, you should dump him
4. If he acts very romantic and sweet, it's usually an act to get in your pants
5. Never believe a word he says. 99.9% of the time he's lying
AKA: This is what Guillermo has taught me in 2009 and it took my last night in his room after Thanksgiving to realize that.
My 27th birthday was supposed to be a happy one. I was spending it with my dad's family for the first time in years and I went to Disneyland for the first time in years (yes I've been there before obliviously but never on my birthday!). A couple of days before Friday, of course, I texted Guillermo to ask about dropping off a present to his parents (who I adore and plus I don't know if they know what we'd been doing in Guillermo's room so better to play it safe and be extra nice to them). We started texting each other back and he asked if I was going to Disneyland this weekend. I said no because I work Saturday but I was going on my actual birthday. He then surprised me by saying "Am I invited?" By habit, I guess, I told him sure and he asked what time and who was going. After mentioning my mom was going, he said "oh I better not. It might be akward." Big mistake coming up because I then said, "True but really since I'm not staying long at Disneyland why don't you come to my dinner party instead." Guillermo then replies, "I don't know. It might be weird." My last response to him was, "It won't be because my family knows you since I talk about you. They won't make you feel weird." That's all it took for me to get my hopes up and start thinking he was really going to make an effort to make things work. Boy was I wrong and I spent the last 3 hours of my birthday laying in bed, crying.
