I am so grateful for the strong support I have gotten in the past month. I am also very grateful that many of you actually believed in my progress enough to seek my advice. I cannot begin to tell you how purposeful that made me feel, which is exactly what I needed to pull myself back up. 

I feel like I’m in a strange place with my writing now. It’s safe to say that my daily blog hits tripled after my breakup. I’m assuming it’s due to the fact that so many people can commiserate, empathize, and learn. I also think a lot of it had to do with some healthy curiosity.  Whatever your reason, thanks for the interest! However, I do notice that your interest drops when I’m…happy. I can relate to that; drama is a driving force in entertainment.

So what do I do now? I find myself pretty peaceful due to all my new discoveries about life and myself. Of course, there are things still outside my grasp, and from time to time I will harp on those issues. However, I don’t want to all the time. I want to write about silly things again. I want to write about the beauty in life — not the sadness. 

I feel exactly like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle must have. He was getting more popular than he could believe while writing his series of stories starring Sherlock Holmes. Then, he kills off the hero! His faithful readers revolted. Eventually, he was guilted into writing more work, starting with the story where Holmes’s death was just a ploy. 

Now, I’m not saying I’m anywhere near as popular as the author of the Sherlock Holmes series…but my writing was becoming more popular than I expected. I was surprised how many people were visiting the site simply because I was dumped, that’s for sure. 

So, for those of you seeking answers or gossip, there will be plenty more from where that came. That’s life. I’ll always be trying to figure things out. For now, just bear with me and try to enjoy the lighter side of life. I’ve learned all the lessons that were necessary for me to find happiness, and I’m so thankful to my ex for helping me become the person I should have been all the while (I hope he forgives me for my flaws).

Now, I’m hopeful, optimistic, relaxed, forgiving, forgiven, open-minded, motivated, independent, and new. I promise I’ll keep you updated. Can we have some fun now?
