The Summer Fling That I Didn't Know Was A Summer Fling (aka The Breakup: Part 4)

After almost 3 months of (at least what I thought was) sheer bliss, my newest girlfriend dumped me yesterday. It came out of nowhere. I was blindsided. I didn't see it coming at all.

I loved her like no other. She felt that she couldn't provide the commitment that I needed. And as quickly as we had started, that was that. It's hard to see clearly right now, but it feels like she'll always be "the one who got away."

I console myself with the thought that I found myself capable of loving someone so deeply and thoroughly. True love does exist, and I found myself completely transformed by having her in my life. Who knew that I could have a healthy relationship for a change?

I wish her nothing but happiness. Strangely, I love her enough to let her go. How odd for me.

I, on the other hand, will continue my journey through life's adventures.. hopefully finding someone who is headed my way, and wants my company.

In the meantime, I think I'll come back and start blogging again. I think the phase of "staying inside my head too much" should end.

Let the healing process begin!
