Long Time Gone

-
It's been forever since I last posted and a lot has changed since then as well. I've moved, lost someone close to me, ended friendships and gained some new ones, and a lot more in between.The main reason for my absence is that I haven't had a computer since August so I haven't been able to post on my blog as much as I want. I still don't have a computer but I'm surviving without one...for now.

As of today it has officially been a year a since I graduated college and it is shocking at how much has changed. Last December I felt like I was on top of the world, things were happening for me and life was the best it could get. This December is a different story. I feel like I'm climbing a mountain and every time I get somewhere I lose my grounding and fall all the way back down, I'm getting nowhere. I try to stay positive about everything. Everyday I tell my self it's going to get better and  I fill my life with positive thoughts but I'm running out of positive juices. Life could be worse for me, but I want life to better than it is.

For now I'm going to leave you with some lyrics

Shadow Days
...
Hard times help me see
I’m a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
But I finally learned to let it go
Now I’m right here, and I’m right now
And I’m hoping, knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now

It's coming up on a year that we've been non-divorced-divorced and I'm still knees deep in pain and hurt. I spend most of my days self-reflecting and trying to figure things out like; what is wrong with me, am I a narcissist, is he a narcissist? Am I the one who caused him pain and damaged him? Did I force him to be the way he was the same way I feel like he forced me to be the way I was? Let me just say, it's exhausting. Self-reflecting and navigating your emotions and feelings is hard, exhaustive work. I feel like I am constantly in this ebb and flow of emotions. One second I'm on the path to healing and then something will happen and I will completely unravel. I can experience this every few weeks, days, and even sometimes all within one day. It's this constant never-ending roller coaster and I just want off! Or do I?  Maybe I'm so used to this way of life that I live off of it. I don't know any other normal so I'm constantly holding on to it and ...

The Letter

-
Below is the letter I wrote to my ex-fiance about a month after we separated and after spending the week house sitting our home and dog while he was off on vacation. During this week of being in the home that was once mine, I became suicidal at one-point, I cried every day for hours upon hours, I did nothing but sit in my emotions and look at where I was and why what was happening to me, was happening to me. I spent almost every hour of every day researching how to make a relationship work, what makes a successful relationship, etc. I just dove in and tried to consume as much knowledge as I could. I tried to process my emotions and feelings as best as I could. And the end result was a 12 page written letter to my ex-fiance asking him to stay and work on our relationship. I don't regret this week, I don't regret writing this letter and I don't regret reading it to him. Because what I didn't know then that I do know now - is that this letter was the beginning for me. It w...
