So, dealing with a breakup after you convince yourself you’ll be in the relationship forever is sort of hard. I’m over the guy, but not the situation. It just sucks.
I’ve decided to start over. Want to know what I’ve been doing with all my new spare time to reboot my life? Haha, here goes.
I’ve been walking with my dogs miles and miles every day after work. It’s been exhausting and spectacular, and I often wonder to myself why I ever chose to sit on a 33 year old man’s couch watching him play video games instead of going on daily adventures with my two beautiful dogs that unconditionally love me for me? It’s nuts.
I also have started the Walking Dead series. Yes, you read that right. I never got into the Walking Dead, but would be interested when I caught a glimpse of an episode while visiting my parents or when my brother would try to catch up. It is AWESOME. I’m loving getting to go through in order, and there’s something pretty enlightening about watching the zombie apocalypse and reflecting on my own problems.
I mean, look at this woman. I think I’ll be ok.
With some spare time to kill during breaks and planning to become my new better best self, I’m getting a lot of reading done and looking into graduate school more seriously lately. I’ve been diving into this daily newsletter called Prsuit and get a daily dose of motivation from those inspirational writers featured there. I’ve also been really enjoying following this year’s group of AT thru hikers. Also, I think Instagram is the most incredible platform right now for people sharing their stories.
So, starting over has been a pretty neat step in my journey. You better believe the next time I dive head first into a relationship, I’m going to hang on more tightly to what makes me, well me.
By the way, no longer “staying friends” with Mike. I’m just trying not to puke when I run into his family out in town. So weird.
I’ll stop talking about it.
Maybe.
