Learning to Love Again
"I thought I'd never fall in love again," Erika said. "But being a tower crane operator, no one can question or bar me from getting to know this object. I feel like the buildings we're creating together are almost like children." Still, Erika recognizes that the crane can't exactly fill the hole that the world's most famous romantic monument left in her heart...
Still Broken
Erika has learned to live with the pain of her relationship ending. "Everyone has an ideal in their head, but if you only look for that ideal then you'll probably end up being very lonely," she said. "It's like always lusting after a blond with blue eyes, but you end up with a redhead who has green eyes. I'm still in a cautious stage with tower cranes because my heart is still broken. I can't have the perfect relationship. I have to accept that."
