Margot & her new beefcake |
Here we meet some beefcake who sweeps her off her feet, when he just really represents exactly what she's afraid of. She fully well knows how phenomenal her husband is, right? But she feels as if something's missing.
During a conversation with an older lady giving our girl (suffering from grass is greener syndrome) advice, the older lady says:
What's new will always turn old,
and what's old was always once new.
So, Margot leaves her awesome husband for a beefcake. Time goes by, and her new beefcake becomes an old beefcake... only to feel the same feeling she did with her awesome husband. She then realizes, she's spent most of her life trying to fill something, fill an empty space.

I feel as if I've been in Margot's shoes a long, long time. Always feeling the need that the gap has to be filled, or even can be filled, has left me restless. Or maybe my health problems has left me constantly trying to compensate for it, trying to be normal or appear to be normal. For instance, if work, school, and friends were going well... I felt as if I needed love in my life to bring everything into fruition. Or... in order to appear as a normal woman, I needed a man to have myself say, "look! I'm sick and I can have normality just like you!"
Life always has a gap in it... don't go crazy trying to fill it.
