Kate Gosselin's New Hair

A wise man once said, "Not everybody's gonna like you." And that's the case with Kate Gosselin, in fact, besides her funky-looking children, I don't know too many people who do. (And the jury is still out on those eight little mixed rugrats) 

But one thing is for sure, sister knows how to work the media and work-it-well she does. Kate recently teamed up with celebrity stylist, Ted Gibson, for her glamorous makeover and she looks fantastic! She even said she's gearing up for dating--anyone else smell a new reality show? But is all that hair on the outside going to change her on the inside? It sure didn't work for King Kong.

We all know Miss Kate can be ruthless, self-centered, and controlling and those are just her good qualities. But is she growing as a person? Are we? Relationships are tough--there's no way around it; you're either going to work on it daily or allow it to wither and die. 

And at the end of a relationship you have three options: 

1. Take some time out and figure out what went wrong (that includes your role)
2. Jump into another relationship (ala Mariah, J-Lo, and Britney)
3. Lace your focal point elsewhere and ignore the fact that you need work. (And not that kind of work, Kate)
   

Kate's ignoring a deep look on the inside. Such an introspective look will truly hurt but will eventually help guide her to a higher place--whether that's a better mommy, more nurturing friend or compassionate lover. (Ew, I just wrote Kate and lover in the same sentence) 

Take it from someone who knows how to edit a good video--she gave TLC tons of footage where she's screaming, belittling, and being just plain evil to her family. Some of that might have been edited out of context, but sister, not all.

Should we stay home and cry ourselves to sleep every night? No. Should we cyberstalk our ex-beloveds and make sure their status on Facebook remains single? Are you crazy? 

I made the mistake of hitting the dating scene the very next day after my relationship of two years broke up. Who did I think I was, Paris Hilton? But I actually thought I was ready. No, I was convinced I was ready. I mean, I was a hot mess and it showed. 

After that horrid experience, and I pity the guy who accepted (Sorry Sanjit), I knew deep inside I had a lot to figure out. I had a lot to discover about myself because I didn't realize that people change when they’re committed to someone--especially if the relationship lasted several years. Those are just the facts. And who you are alone is a new mystery that needs solving which can make the process scary and lonely but it's also fun and exciting.

In a world where quick banking, faster internet, and rapid weight loss is the norm, have we also placed relationship healing in that category? And if so, I can't help but wonder, "If we blindly fall in love quicker, will the fall be harder?" I wish Kate lots of love, luck, and happy conditioning--on both her heart and new hair.

How long did you wait until you started dating again?
