Relief

That's what I feel right now, relief. About 2 weeks ago, it finally occurred to me that I was in a dead end relationship. I couldn't picture myself marrying him, so I decided to cut my losses and end the relationship. I'm one of those strange people, though. Once I have made up my mind that it's over, then it's over. Just like that. And I'm ready to move on with my life. I won't sit around sulking about it, crying over my lost love. Why do that? Time to move on is what I say.

So I did. Was it easy? Nope. But it has been so worth it. I already feel so much better, like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I feel better about myself, and not like I'm being held back. He was a terrific guy, just not on the same track in life as I am.

The easy thing would've been to stay with him, and try and wait it out, once more, to see if we could move on. Easy isn't always right, though. Now, I'm happy, carefree, less stressed and enjoying a new zest for life. I'm really glad that I made this change, I'm relieved.
