Baby steps, or "How did I end up here?"

Jan 01, 2011 23:53

It seems a perversion of reality to call this an "inaugural" LJ entry. While it may be the first entry in this particular journal, it is probably the 5,000th I've written over the past 7 years. Welcome to LJ 3.0.

I began writing on LJ in 2003, when my wife left me holding a 1 year old baby girl and wondering what the hell had just happened.

She and ( Read more... )

the ex

Painted smiles on downcast faces.

I remember only too well. How many times did I ask these question myself? Until one day, I sat before a computer and stopped talking. My fingers spoke volumes as my heart prepared for the final ache.

And as it tore, it allowed room for him...and you.

Welcome back, and I truly sorry this sucks. I could say one day it will get better, and it will.

but not yet

Sometimes there are just no words to say.

LJ needs a "LIKE" button.

hi... welcome back to LJ.

looking forward to following you on your journey.

ny_giants_dad January 3 2011, 08:26:05 UTC

Thank you. It's [sort of] good to be back. The circumstances certainly dampen my otherwise childlike excitement.....

did you have another user name where we were friends before? just curious how you found me

ny_giants_dad January 4 2011, 12:52:44 UTC

I did have another username, but you and I did not know each other. I saw something you posted on a community [somewhere]. I honestly don't remember. The last few days and nights have more or less melted into one another.

It's the 4th (according to my computer) and I really am not entirely sure I believe that.

Anyway - I would love to reconnect with the friends I had before, but like dust to the wind, they have been scattered to God knows where. I have 3 of them on my Facebook that I never lost touch with, but that's about it.

welcome to LJ! so reading your "inaugural entry" makes me very interested in following your journey :)

nice to meet you :)

ny_giants_dad January 3 2011, 08:23:28 UTC

Yes, it is nice to meet you, too.

Strange feeling, as if I am back at square one. My refrigerator reminds me of her, but instead of the sadness I expected, I merely find myself wondering who will get it when we move out of this place next month.

Custody battle over a fridge. Indeed, I need sleep.

Until tomorrow....
