Moving on...once more

I guess I am on the road of single-hood once more. Good thing I like myself, otherwise I will go crazy. Not a bad road to travel, but sometimes it could get intense, frustrating and exhausting. It could be emotionally draining and never a friend to the ego.


On January 18, I ended a wonderful relationship with a wonderful man. A man that gave me many moments of happiness and adventure. A man that showed me life from a different perspective. A man that pushed me out of my comfort zone. A man that forever will be in my heart.

Why did I leave, despite loving him? That's a great question, and while I was exploring that question I found this quote on Pinterest, and I had to make it my own as it totally reflects my reasons for leaving:

               

"Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready.They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never have to inspire anyone  to meet you on the bridge. You never, ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen out there in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will  be ready."

Am I sad? Sadness do not get to measure the depth of the pain of losing someone you love. I was heartbroken or maybe I was totally broken, but life has taught me that you have to shake the dust off you, get up and move forward. I am worth of love and whoever is for me is out there, somewhere. This time I am not going to sit around waiting for Mr. Right, I am going to put myself out there and look for him, and enjoy the search like I have all the time in the world. I only live once and I am blessed with having a wonderful life, that now I am ready to share.

Yesterday I signed up for a membership in a dating website. I am sure this will be an adventure of its own. I hope to make the best of this experience, and will try to keep my paranoia about meeting a sociopath at bay.

Why do  I share my story? ....because as Maya Angelou said: "there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."  Now that I have lighten my load,  my journey will be easier or so I think.
