Keeping up appearances

It’s been just over 6 weeks since the break up of my most significant relationship to date, and I’d just like to pause for a moment to consider what I’ve done in that time… 

I have been very drunk, very often.

I have seen or spoken at length with several friends I hadn’t done either of these things with for a while.

I have launched my first ever Kickstarter campaign, had Skype meetings with Juany who runs Otra Cosa Network and made a lot of progress in organising my trip.

I’ve had two interviews for, and successfully been offered a new job.

I’ve given my notice at Raleigh.

I’ve been out dancing, I’ve gone to see shows, I’ve started listening to music again.

I’ve run, although admittedly not as much as perhaps I should have…

And all this time, I’ve felt just a tiny bit guilty. Because even though I’m sad, I’m not as sad as I expected to be, and I guess I’m realising just how liberating it can be to be on your own. 

So I suppose I’ve learnt that change can definitely be a good thing. I’ve learnt that getting comfortable, can actually be pretty uncomfortable, and that sometimes you need to take a step back before you realise that.

I really hope that he is also learning from this, and it is as beneficial to him as I already feel it might be for me.

Adios! (I have also been practising my Spanish…)
