When I left Australia and came home, things weren’t “right”.
Nathan and I split for a variety of reasons, but when I reflect on that time, I think a lot of it was youthful stupidity.
When I came home and moved into my parent’s basement, I didn’t know what was in store for me. My life had been entangled in Nathan’s for 6 years; I didn’t even know who I was without him.
Fast forward nearly a decade and I still don’t know what life has in store for me; but I know what has gone right.
* I have a wonderful, sweet bengal cat
* I have two rambunctious, sweet, playful dogs that love me and love each other
* I have a job that I am passionate about, that I love
* I work for a company that inspires me and with which I hope to be for a long time
* I have wonderful friends that I can rely on and trust
* I have an incredible family that I love
* I own a beautiful home with a wonderful yard
* I am involved in wonderful, rewarding communities ranging from ExpressionEngine, to CrossFit, to dog rescue
I see a lot of people bitching, whining, moaning, complaining on Twitter and Facebook. All too often that is what their entire online persona is: a whine-fest.
I don’t want to be that person. I *love* my life, and while I have worked hard for what I have, I feel extremely lucky to be where I am. I am a single, independent, strong woman with a wonderful life and a beautiful future ahead of me.
This is a
great life, and one that I am happy to live.
