My Baja Heartbreak and My Maybe Melon-Flavored Match
Can baja blast ever really be replaced? Can mtn Dew Major Melon fill the crater baja blast has left in us all?
As all of you probably know, Mountain dew and taco bell made a combination so awesome it can only be rivaled by the combination pizza hut and taco bell. You know what i’m talking about. I’m talkin bout that good good baja, baby. Some may say that I’m exaggerating and to that I say shutupdonttellmehowloveworks but I was in love. We hit it off instantly. From the first sip, she had me.
Baja Blast tore through me like a hurricane and left nothing but PTSD and wreckage in its swift departure from my life.
Baja and I met at a rough time in my life. She got me through tough times and that’s why I was willing – no, I was begging for baja to let me help her through it. But alas, instead of turning to me for support, she, much like the avatar, vanished from the pub when I needed her most (which was always).
You know, sometimes I still visit her. I mean it’s been a while but when I was home I would gaze upon every taco bell and be filled with a wistful bittersweet nostalgia. I would have never forced her to stay. I wouldn’t like it, but I would never get in her way. Loving someone means letting them go when they want to leave; letting them love someone else the way you loved them. All I really wanted was a goodbye.
I know I could make my way to a Taco Bell and maybe go be with her every once in a while, but I don’t just want her every once in a while. I need someone who can be there in the pub when I need them. I need stability and she thrives on occasional tasty spontaneity. We both deserve better. We deserve to have our needs met.
It’s been months since then. I honestly didn’t think I could ever put myself out there. I mean, How do you know you’re ready to love again.
But then, yesterday happened. He had a green cap and pink contents. The style caught my eye immediately. He was Mtn. Dew Major Melon, a new flavor. I was nervous and I almost backed out last minute. But, I tried it. I tried putting myself out there again and you know what? It was only the first date but for the first time in a really long time, I knew it was all going to be okay.
