'I still had streaks of sugar on my palms as my ex and I held hands in front of the judge, and, sobbing, sliced ourselves in half.' | ranch_stressing
. It was the morning of my divorce. My soon-to-be ex-husband and I were meeting for coffee before walking across Randolph to the Daley Center, where we would kick our three-year marriage to the curb. We needed sugar. I can’t remember what he ordered at the time—a sure sign of the self-absorption that contributed to our dissolution—but mine was a glazed doughnut of resignation, a leavened dough I could mush easily between my anxious, sticky fingers.
I thought about this doughnut the next time I found myself at Clark and Randolph. I hopped out of an Uber with my fiance, bouquet in hand, $20 white dress draped across my eager body, and muddy combat boots poking out from beneath the hemline.
Three happy years into that second marriage, I still get flustered when I pass through the intersection of Clark and Randolph. I think about the ends and beginnings on either side, the people walking into the best and worst days of their lives, the real impermanence of the whole ordeal.
