From my friend “Dan”...

Hey Ji,

Sorry to hear that. His loss. Exes are definitely complicated. Sounds
like it had less to do with him turning you down and more to do with an
unresolved prior relationship. That’s no blow to your ego; it just is what
it is. Don’t let it get you down. Have you seen the weather today?! It’s
sunny and gorgeous. That means there’s plenty of time for you to bust out
the hot ass shorts and heels you had on the other day and snare yourself
another guy. Maybe even a taller one with more hair. Either way there’s a
ton of fun to be had in this city and you have plenty of friends to have fun
with. Who needs relationships? They’re just a hassle anyway. Guess we’ll be
drinking together soon. Woo Hoo!
