Single Life

It’s taken some time but I’ve adjusted to the life as a single man. No one thinks they will get a divorce. Well, maybe some do. I just know that I didn’t marry with the intention of things not working out. I meant my vows.

When the process began I felt alone in many ways. The weekends which was our time to have fun turned into days by myself. Eating by myself. Having a drink by myself. One day The Slovak and I decided to say screw is and go have lunch. Call it a date, call it what you will. It was fun and it helped me realize that I didn’t have to be alone. There were people I could call upon. So I’ve had about 20 “dates” with various people whom have helped me in so many regards. Did I want to be single at 40? No. Am I happy being single at 40? Absolutely.

Just know life is a rollercoaster and the mind can be a merry-go-round. We eventually climb off. It’s just a ride. We all stepped on and we all step off. We jump onto another scary ride. Hold on.

“One life on this earth is all we get, whether it is enough or not enough, and the obvious conclusion would seem to be that at the very least we are fools if we do not live it as fully and bravely and beautifully as we can.” – Frederick Buechner.

Saturday was a second date with a female friend. I think 3 hours means it went well, right? Lunch and a walk around downtown. She is pretty cool.

On that note, went to lunch Tuesday with Slovak. Tuesdays are great days off. You beat Monday and you come back on Wednesday. Had some good lunch. I’m not playing the field, just free and most my friends happen to be female.

Capped off the week with a surprise. Went to happy hour to find a little joy. Have not seen her in a long time considering we live in the same town. She wasn’t happy, sadly. But life will come around. Crazy woman.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
