What Would a Fashionista Do?

Once I came back from an intense and isolated three-month experience and it took me about a year to deal with the culture shock. Some parts of the shock faded over time but many changes in my perspective were permanent. I broke up with my long-term boyfriend a few months after returning but I knew the night I got off the airplane that I wanted out. A more mature me would have seen it earlier and responded appropriately. Live and learn and all that.

Sorry, what shock did he face? He was stuck in base camp for weeks on end and trekked down an hour for beers and grilled cheeses on a daily basis and his sherpa baked him a fucking birthday cake on his birthday. He came back with a bigger beer gut than he had when he left and partied like a rock star. And it wasn't like he hasn't climbed a mountain once a year for the past several years. Dude, the guys just a pleasure seeking pig.

Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
