I Think She Broke Me

I love pop culture. Back to the Future especially. And do you want to know which Back to the Future character I relate to the most? Einstein, Doc’s dog. I’ve always found I had some profound and transcendent connection with that dog. He is the first living object to travel into the future, then hops out as if nothing happened, completely oblivious to the world-changing science that has just transpired around him. That is exactly me. Our entire relationship I was utterly ignorant to the underlying metaphor. Ignorant to the inevitable failure that comes from an unbalanced relationship. It wasn’t until it was all over that I could truly comprehend what had just happened. Yes, believe it or not, this is a story of love. More accurately, lack thereof.
