Brand new life

Friday started a brand new life for me. I am on my own again. Now it is good, I have a good job, a nice place to live and friends that I know have my back.

I am going to take it slow, I think I have a lot to relearn about myself. I used to be so outgoing, now I'm not so much, but I liked that part of myself, so I'm going to work on that.

I am also proud of myself for taking this step. It isn't as always as we'd like to think it is. When couples break up there is hurt on both sides, sometimes more on one side than the other, but self-preservation is necessary. I learned that when you are a couple some loss of oneself is probably normal, but not a radical change. It isn't fair of him to ask it of me nor of me to ask it of him. So I think we are better off apart. It is sad, but the right thing to do.

Now I am branching out, I am finding groups that interest me, doing things that keep my mind working and will feed my soul, like writing my book.

I haven't done much in a while, but now that I am settled, it is a good time to put much more effort into it, get a sense of accomplishment in my life. Though moving out on my own was an accomplishment. I just want to add more to my repertoire.
