pandagirl Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Despite being sad about my ex, I have to say I am very proud of the way I am improving upon other aspects of my life! All year, I've been a depressed and feeling directionless -- a issue that contributed to my unhappiness and definitely played a part in my breakup. I've felt lost in my career goals, which is a very important part of my life. I've been out of work, moping around and not feeling confident. But, wow! Has this turned around in the last month. People have been coming to ME with projects and work. And I've just been offered a prestigious job at a big company to front a project. Yeah, I'm still sad about my ex, but it's good to know I am still pushing forth into making myself happy.

Author pandagirl Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Congratulations Panda! Making progress in your career is a big win. Keep moving forward and even more doors will open up for ya! Thanks Ajax. It's been a hard past two years. I basically left a good career where I was on a trajectory to a high level position in a competitive field. I left because I wasn't happy and wanted to do something different. Giving up on a career that I'd been working on for 10 years was really hard, but it seems like things are FINALLY falling into place. I have to say that I feel lucky, but I also know I made the tough decisions and put in the hard work to get to this place. Even though my love life sucks, I'm really proud of myself that I stuck to my guns. I can see now that the more I'm happy with myself, the less pain I'll feel about my ex. I can see how I will always miss him, but it won't matter as much, because the hole he left will be filled by my own happiness.

paleblue Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Good job Pandagirl. Sounds like you are getting your stride back. I think we all remain a lil sad over someone we cared about that is no longer around, but life goes on! Its crazy how some people can affect our lives.
carhill Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Hey, happy to read that. It's great information for the future too. Many twists and turns to the path of life. Best wishes!
Author pandagirl Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks everyone! Of course, I still cried a little in bed last night thinking of him. haha. I think the most important thing I've learned about myself in this breakup is that I am a strong person. I became a very dependent and clingy person in my relationship, because I was neglecting MYSELF. Once I set my mind to fix this, I saw that I had the inner-strength to make myself my number one priority. In a way, I think my ex saw that we were both losing ourselves and did us both a favor by breaking up with me. He told me, "I want you to be happy even if it's not with me, because you're not happy with me now." My love for him remains, but it's been tempered with the knowledge that I am in control of my own life and happiness.
