staying & moving

So tomorrow is the big day, & I don’t mean what one would normally mean when referring to “the big day”, we aren’t magically back together & getting married, quite the opposite in fact, tomorrow is the big day in that he moves out.

That’s right after a whirlwind 6 weeks of heartbreak, anger, hurt, sorrow, raging fury, depression, a river of tears, hatred & countless moments of gut wrenching agony, as of sometime tomorrow afternoon I will be officially alone.

Alone & living in a townhouse filled with memories of the guy I truly believed I was going to marry & who I loved with all the love I had in me, always have, always did, always will.

And everything finally caught up with me this morning, I was late for work because I could not stop crying, not just a few tears, but sitting on the bathroom floor uncontrollably sobbing my heart out, because it dawned on me that it’s over, like really over, like he is moving out in less than 24 hours over.

And if this morning is anything to go by, I hate to think what it’s going to be like tomorrow, when I actually have to do the one thing I thought I would never have to, & that’s say goodbye to him.

 

broken

So first up I must apologise profusely for the lack of posting on my behalf lately, it’s just that well you know life kinda got in the way, & by life I mean my whole world absolutely collapsed into a massive heap of broken-ness around me.

And unfortunately when that happens posting isn’t exactly high up on my list of priorities, seriously it has been that bad, like incredibly so, my main priority has been trying to get through at least one day/night without crying, so far that hasn’t happened.

Needless to say along with the lack of posting, there has been a lack of exercise & a lack of healthy eating, in fact there has been a lack of anything other than how hurt & disappointed I am, how heartbroken I am, how unfair the whole situation is, & how every part of my day is consumed with thoughts of him & how overwhelmingly strongly I don’t want this to be happening nor do I want us to be over, ever.

And some of you have sent me emails asking how i’m going, which is so sweet, incredibly so actually, & some of you have also asked what lead to us breaking up & well to be brutally honest, it’s a culmination of a couple of things that have just seemed to have gotten progressively worse over the past few months or so.

The past few months have been incredibly tough, nothing as tough as what I am going through right now, but tough all the same.

We moved to a new city, I didn’t know anyone, I felt completely alone, I started a new job, the most stressful job I have ever had, & I started not being able to cope, so much so that if I am to continue with my honesty, I will go so far as to say that I have been suffering from depression.

Sure i’ve had the facade up of being upbeat & positive, but underneath I seem to have lost all of my usual coping mechanisms for dealing with changes in my life, & well that caused me to shut down, get depressed, & push away the one thing that I wanted to hold onto for the rest of my life.

And the thing that makes it even worse is that I never told him what I was going though, I just pushed him away. And I guess that’s because i’m such a proud person & I have a habit of keeping things to myself that i’m embarrassed by or that I don’t want to burden someone else with.

Believe me if I knew then that he would leave me because I pushed him too far away, then I would have told him everything, I would have stopped worrying about burdening him with my own problems & just outright told him that I wasn’t coping & that I was suffering from depression.

But when someone tells you constantly that you are the love of their life, & that you want to be with them always & that nothing will ever get in the way of us being together forever, it’s kinda hard to believe that one day they will come home, with no warning, not ever even mentioning it or discussing the fact there might be some issues & end it so abruptly.

You just don’t walk away from people. You don’t throw people that you love away. It’s not supposed to be like that, if you love someone enough you would do anything & everything to make things work, you don’t just give up when things get a little tough, & i’m so mad & hurt & fucked off & disappointed that he did that to me.

But in saying that, the truth is, if I could be with anyone, it would still be him, everytime.

AWESOME APRIL!!

So March was a nightmare, a full blown life crashing down around me nightmare, seriously I would not wish the past 3 weeks on my worst enemy.

As those of you who read my blog regularly will know, I started off March all positive, up beat & super motivated. And then a week into it my heart got monumentally broken & I seriously thought my life was ending.

Actually I must admit at one point I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I was going to end up a lonely old moth ball smelling spinster with unshaven arm pits that lived in a run down house with 25 cats too many.

But then I realised just because some guy gave up & no longer wanted to try to make a relationship work, does not mean that I need to build a bomb shelter in the backyard because the world was coming to an end. It simply comes down to the fact that he is going to be the one that misses out, because i’m positive that going forward my life is going to be filled with the most wonderfully magnificent things & moments.

So anyway enough about the past, let’s move onwards & upwards as they say, because now i’m all about the present, & the present is AWESOME APRIL!!

That’s right people, all singing, all dancing, all caps lock, all exclamation marks, all AWESOME APRIL!!

A whole month to truly dedicate myself to my health & fitness. And this time with the added motivation of a business trip to Israel in May, & a holiday to New York, Vegas & Hawaii in June with a friend from work.

I mean really how could April not be awesome with all that determination & motivation to keep my spirits up, my plan on track, my mind focused & my eye on the prize.
