i started typing a very deep and meanfully post re: sara and her heart vs her head... unfortunately i'm having problems with broadband tonight, and i got kicked off before i could post it - but i'll try and recreate it as best I can.
I identify very strongly with Sara. She and I have very similar outlooks with regards to work, relationships and socialising. And when it comes to relationships, there are two types of people - there are those who go with their heads, and those who go with their hearts. And as logical as Sara is, I strongly suspect she's a heart-type person.
In my head (and hers, prob) she should be with Nick, or Greg, or someone who makes her laugh, makes her have fun, makes her lighten up. Sara should be with a kind, caring and considerate non-workaholic who can get Sara to slow down and stop working so hard.
Ah, but the heart. The heart can not be ruled by logic. It loves who it loves. And if you are a heart over head person, you can only go with your heart. I know they say that no man (or woman) is worth crying over, and the one who is wont make you cry - beautiful quote, admirable sentiment, but unfortunately flat wrong. Men can and do make us cry. They can be stupid sometimes - it's called being human. If I had a penny for every tear I shed over the love of my life, I'd be a very rich woman indeed. He broke my heart repeated. But would I go back and say "no, he's not a good choice for me because of all the complications and the misery we could potentially cause each other" ? No way. Why? Because love isn't logical. And more importantly, if you settle for the safe but passionless option, the guy who treats you right and who you're great friends with, but who you don't really love, then you're not really living at all.
I'd love to see Sara happy, and I think that she, like me, would rather be with no one than with the wrong someone.
