Think I am starting to turn the corner...

[Christophe]

Since my break up three months ago I have been pretty down and have never felt so dark in all my life. However now I think things are finally starting to turn.

 

I still think about my ex but it is not quite the same longing and hopeless feeling I have had before. I have been as low as it gets and now I think I am starting to put into motion my recovery.

 

I am working on becoming an even more interesting and exciting version of myself than I ever was before. I am finally getting some hope and excitement back into my life after believing that everything was so pointless and such hard work without my ex anymore. Now I feel excited for the things I am starting to do and plan to do. I have a new job which has given me the chance to save money and to think about buying my first car (before Christmas I hope). The new job (working in a music warehouse) has also reignited my passion for music and I am going to buy an electric guitar and teach myself to play (something I have always wanted to do).

 

I have also joined a weekly salsa class which I am really enjoying and is a chance to improve my confidence and meet women in a relaxed setting (something I would never have had the confidence for a year ago). I am back playing football every week too which I have not done in 18 months. I am continuing to learn Spanish even after the break up with my Spanish ex. I think I am ready for this now after it was all too much for me to take so shortly after the break up. I am also back on a better diet and weight training regime 4 times a week at the gym.

 

Right now I am so busy and although my job is not perfect it is another stepping stone while I get back on my feet and become an even better, more confident version of myself and figure out exactly where I am going in life. In some ways now I am looking at the break up as a blessing in disguise. Out of all the darkness and hopelessness I have somehow found purpose and excitement in my life again. I am not completely healed by any means but I believe I am getting there and I am doing everything I can to be positive and try new things and make the most of what I have got right now.

 

And who knows maybe the love of my life number 2 will turn up someday soon while I am so busy doing all these other things. I hope this message is a positive for people reading who have had a tough time like me and are pulling themselves out of it. I hope I can continue to grow and go from strength to strength and I will know that the next girl that comes along will meet an even better version of me than I was when I met my ex. I am just trying not to worry about when the next relationship will happen. I am finally focusing on myself and it actually feels pretty good right now. I am having a positive day and I'm going with it.
