Friends, it's Rosie here.
Welcome back to Radio Headspace.
Have you ever said something you regret instantly?
Not like five minutes later?
Not after you've had some time to reflect?
I mean the kind where the words leave your mouth and your whole body goes, nope, that wasn't it.
That happened to me recently.
A dear friend of mine had just gone through a breakup.
It wasn't just any breakup though.
This was someone she'd been friends with for years.
And then, somewhere along the way, it turned romantic.
They were together for several years.
And look, if I'm being honest, I never thought it was a good idea.
None of us did, including them.
Not because he wasn't a good person.
He is kind, thoughtful, genuinely decent.
But they live in two different worlds.
She's museums, quiet dinners, long conversations.
He's Burning Man.
Spontaneous.
