The Beginning of the End

I think my life is about to change. My one true love may need much needed space, and our lives are taking us in different directions.

It's so hard to uncouple one's self from someone they've spent nearly five years learning from. I've learned so much from him. He's literally helped me reshape my worldviews into something so much more open-minded, something more caring and thoughtful. I'm a better writer, I drink skim milk, I use care all the time, I explored the ends of the earth with him, I don't drink as much, I use Macs, I love more deeply.... because he helped me and he was there for me. I am a different person than I was when I entered college, and now I'll be a different one without him.

I don't regret a thing. I am sad to see our lives go different directions, but I am also going to get over this all at some point. I am happy that he is happy with where his life is going, and no matter where I end up, I know I'll find my niche too. I just wish, with all my heart, that our paths crossed. In the future, maybe in two years from now, it may happen. But I know I can't wait in limbo for something that may never come. So I'm going my way, and he's going his. And we'll both prosper and be happy, together or not.

I know that life doesn't end here. It goes on.
