I felt like writing after a long time. Today marks a year since I locked up my former home and walked away from a life, I had built for 22 years, 7 months and 8 days. I am not wistfully sad … nothing romantic like that! In fact, I am strangely calm and predictably positive.
A few days ago, Craigley sent an email to ASid, Hans and me stating that he would be unavailable for a week in December as he will be on vacation with his girlfriend. ASid immediately called me, and I texted him … we both tried to make sure the other was okay with this news. Hans was with Craigley, and we figured he was probably receiving the news in person. ASid wondered if I had someone to talk with and I did. I called my friend C, maybe I have mentioned her as Manda, and it doesn’t matter what name I gave her - she was there for me. She did what friends do. She tried to cheer me up by saying that someone called their ex ‘garbage’ on a social media platform. I told her that someone’s trash is someone’s treasure. We had a good laugh about it.
Now that I have had some time to process, I believe that I received someone ‘in the rough’. Craigley is a better man than he was before. So, he is now a ‘gift’ to this woman - not garbage!
