So, I'm back in Singleville as of yesterday. I actually feel fine, to be completely honest. I've sensed this approaching for quite a while so it didn't come as much of a shock. It just felt awkward to declare myself "single" again. However, this time, I'm going to enjoy the feeling of being an individual instead of one-half of something. No more feeling anxious about petty arguments; no more tolerating pithy excuses for the poor behaviors of another. For the first time in months I feel encouraged that I can choose my own path and build it without the assistance of a man.
This is a strange sort of buzz. I know it'll wear off after a few days, but I'm determined to enjoy it nonetheless. The black clouds of negativity and apathy are gone, and the sun feels great (I know that that sounds corny, but I also just returned from walking my dog in the sunshine). I set a goal for myself months ago, and now I feel like I'm one (huge) step closer to achieving it.
Here's to clarity.
