this week has been my experiment away from the ex-. we've had the oddest breakup. very hard to tear apart our lives. but since this separation was forced due to her being out of town, it really let me live on my own. while it may have been lonely and i didn't really unpack more and settle in to the new place. and while we might have sent each other a couple emails and there is the excitement of return.. there is that feeling that it is goodbye because they are still in a dangerous city and something could happen. plus i have to get over this. so this week was good for that. maybe now i'm really on the path to being over you? i even wrote a little speech about how i don't want reconciliation. it made me feel better.
