It’s strange, but when you think about it, divorce and bikini waxes have a lot in common. Both are embarrassing, expensive, and both kinda hurt like hell. And the best way to get through either of them? Let it rip.
Next time you get your lady parts defuzzed, watch your waxer. She’s going to illustrate the way you should handle your divorce proceedings. Does the nice woman kinda, sorta pull that hot melted wax off your hooha? Does she do it slowly? Hell no! She grabs that wax strip and rips it off like she means it. Does it hurt? Hell yes! But every waxing professional knows what we as women in a divorce need to learn, moving slowly only makes things stickier and more painful. So take a cue from her. Grab a hold on yourself and get down to business.
I realize that divorce is not a pleasant event no matter how you handle it. That’s inescapable. It’s going to be painful. But that pain will either be over quickly or will continue for months or even years. It depends on you. So stop dillydallying already and get on with it. It’s going to sting either way.
If you don’t believe me, just handle your divorce like I did. Be timid. Be tentative about making any decisions. Sorta find an attorney, kinda start filing your paperwork. You’ll end up creating more ugly pain than if you’d just been decisive and done something. In waxing as in divorce, I now know, the sooner it’s over the sooner the pain stops.
So take it from that scary lady standing over your groin with a stick full of hot wax; decide on your course of action, find your attorney, pound out your agreements. And make like a bikini wax and let ‘er rip.
