General Announcement

[the_anti_chef]

Right now I am single. I am dating. I am trying to have some fun while juggling Bird, work, school, the pets and Le Monde.

I want to move on with my life.

I'm also still dealing with the very deep pain of losing my marriage. My wife. My life as I knew it.

It's not always easy and I am no where near ready to be vulnerable.

But I am trying.

If you think you might read something here that will upset you, please don't read. I am not writing to hurt you. I am writing because it is therapeutic for me and I enjoy it. I don't pass protect because I want always to be real. I am a whole person with a mix of emotions and I am not afraid to show them.

I have tried to be absolutely clear about where I am in my life. I try my best to match my actions to my words because I don't want to "bullshit" anybody. If I have failed in this area, I am sorry.

I am me. I am evolving, changing, growing. I am not the same person that I was. I have expectations/wants/needs/desires and I'm not going to bend them anymore.

I have to move forward.

Don't try and guilt me. Don't think you can manipulate me. I can't go there. Not again.

This is me.

I have to make me happy.

And this is how I do it.
