being single…
isn’t nearly as bad as i thought it might be. for those not in the know, i’ve been single for quite a while. since january 27th, to be exact. you know that moment that you know that it’s all downhill from there? yeah, that was the day. the why i will keep to myself, but that is definitely the exact day my most recent relationship died.
here’s the thing…being single this time around has not sucked…it’s actually been quite…well, amazing, to say the least.
a coworker gave me this book a while ago. i took it as a sweet gesture but didn’t think that i would be one of those people that would need a self-help book. after all, my relationship has been over for a very long time, it was just the actual official “breakup” that took a while longer. okay, a whole hell of a lot longer.
in any case, i had a sad moment

and finally sat down and read the book (it’s called a breakup because it’s broken). cover to cover; beginning to end and then beginning to end again. i realized i had already been doing a lot of the positive things the book suggested. working out, seeing friends, eliminating any and all things that reminded me of my ex. how cool am i?
and then all of a sudden, just as the book stated, one day i wasn’t thinking of my ex anymore.
and then i started dating again.
and then i realized that although i was over my ex, dating is NOT what i want to be doing right now. especially since i just got the entire bed back to myself. how i have missed having the entire bed just to myself, without some lump taking up my space.
one day i will want to share my space again, but right now, it feels too good to have it all to myself. selfish? yes. do i care? no.
plus, i’ve been in love with someone for a very long time and have been in denial. time to be honest.
he’s from st. louis, he’s smart and oh-so-sexy…
sleep tight, kids
