Adulthood is Change
It has been a while since I have updated. Lots of changes have happened to me as of late. I recently found myself single after a very long relationship. I won’t hash out the sad details here. It was just an unfortunate case of: he was not sure that he loved me, but wasn’t sure enough to let me go. Thus, a relationship that went on too long and ended too abruptly.
Adulthood is sometimes about heart break and loss. The goal is how to learn from each experience and grow stronger, brighter, and more whole.
So I find myself moving out of a home and a life that we had spent many happy years building. I pack my books, my wine collection, my picture frames, my clothes — but all I will take with me from this place is my unbreakable capacity to love.
In my upcoming blog posts, I will be experiencing adulthood as a single person. I am committed to living “a life less ordinary” and I intend to take lots of adventures and share all of my learning experiences with you.
Cheers to new beginnings!
Mara

Hey Mara,
I am sorry to hear about the break up. I know that’s got to suck, but hey, at least you’ve got a win collection to help you through it
I think blogging will definitely help you move forward and I hope that everything works out for you for the best. I am sure it will and never forget, you’ve got a friend in me any time you need to release some stress through email. I know it’s not much, but my inbox is always open for you!
Wow that’s a lot to deal with! We’re sorry to hear about the many challenges this brings, but as you say you now have the opportunity to live that life less ordinary and we look forward to your blogging journey! And if you need virtual snacks just let us know, they help with everything we promise!
Thank you for sharing such a personal experience. I know that your new path will lead to many joyous adventures!! xoxo
THE WRECKERS. I know the quote. I was in a three year relationship with someone that was very up and down…. he wasn’t sure if he loved me, but literally, like the words in the song, wasn’t sure enough that he DIDN’T to walk away. Our ending came fast and without warning. It hit me hard and took a long time to recover. I eventually did, and 2.5 years of being single (and him getting engaged [and then marrying] to someone he had known 6 weeks a mere 6 months after we broke up) I met someone wonderful, my soul mate the love of my life, and my partner. 18 months together and my world was shattered. We were getting engaged and I found out he had been living a double life. It’s a long story. It’s on my blog, but basically he lied about everything he had ever told me, including his NAME. He was actually married with a child. I was horrified, devastated, and traumatized and still am. It’s been 7 months and I go to therapy once a week (used to be more but I lost my insurance) and still wake up every day lost and disoriented. I miss my partner. The man I knew, who honestly never existed to begin with, was someone I was and am madly in love with. The man who he really was and is, is the absolute scum of the earth. But I still miss my partner, who was the man I knew. It has been horribly complicated and awful. I found you through SITS and so glad I did. I hear and feel your pain with you; I really do.
