I thought of writing the following as a Venn
diagram, but I’m not a computer whiz, so I’ll stick with paragraphs. Also, I’d only be addressing the overlapping center. See, recently, due to backlog of undone
laundry, I was wearing low-rise jeans from when that was all I could find in my
price range. They are now my
no-clean-laundry-day jeans. They are so

mind all that is wrong with me in low-rise jeans, I realized that the same list
applies to what is wrong with me having been with my ex.
Since giving less fabric/love seems to get accepted
as the norm, we unfortunately get used to this discomfort as too many of us do
a crappy marriage. The bar gets lowered,
and what was normal gets renamed. Now
when I am looking for normal pants that know where to hold me, I have to ask
for high-waisted pants. And if I want
to meet a normal, loving man who knows where to hold me, well …
I suppose if one takes the time it truly deserves, one can find a good fit.
After discovering a store in the
Bronx called LuLu’s and H&M in Manhattan both carry normal and affordable
jeans, I’ve been slowly getting rid of the unflattering kind. And as in the separation and divorce, I’ve found…
Ah, I too am on the financially devastating quest to finding the jeans with the correct fit...
