ate_the_paint Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Every summer my friends and I spend a lot of time having fires on the beach until the wee hours. I've been continuing that tradition because hell, I was doing that before my ex ever came along. For the past two months though she had hijacked my beach fires with her memories! All I could think about was how good it was when we were at these fires together, etc. Well, the last couple of times (I didn't notice until now) I didn't think of her at these fires. Instead I talked with my friends, played guitar, drank beer, etc. I enjoyed myself! At the last fire this one particular young lady who I work with suddenly caught my eye. I think she said something that really made me laugh. She has been giving me drives in her truck and always sits next to me, but I just never noticed her before. I realized "Damn, she's beautiful!" That was really the first time I had noticed that there are other women out there! Then I realized that I didn't feel bad about it, either. I'm not getting into anything right now but I do like knowing that life goes on. So, I don't know what that means because I slept well and felt waaay better today then I have in a long time. When my ex called to make final arrangements for a meeting tomorrow (we have financial issues to sort out) I was in a super good mood. I said "Cool, have a good drive. See ya later." and hung up on her! I didn't think the pain would go. It's not gone, but it is starting to diminish (like the first sign of a thaw after a long winter.) Thanks LS!
