Milestone

Healing:
Departure from "Team Sucker" to "Team Me".

I consider my ex-boyfriend laid-off ... by me. The team doesn't need unnecessary costs for worse output (thank heavens for sanitized business language to describe the most emotional things). Even though he made the decision to break up the team, it is I who decided to bring the remnants of the wreckage for use in the next project and beyond.

Last night, in a state of perhaps tipsiness, I heard myself tell someone, who commented that he's glad that I'm single again, that [leaving Brian behind] is probably one of the better decisions in my life. Moments later, I was surprised by my honesty. It is true, my decision to leave him behind in my life to free myself to move on and explore the abundance of options I have, be in the mutually supportive company of friends and family, to meet new friends, to seek answers to the "question of questions:" How can I be happier?

What could possibly be better than that? At 24, this is where I need to be. Knowing what I know now and having what I have now, I would never go back to where I used to be.
