I made the right decision telling him I want to divorce. it was the only way to improve daily life for myself and child. I am feeling relaxed at the moment, which I haven’t felt in a very long time. My home is feeling very calm (besides having a puppy). I’m looking around at the mess and disorder, but there’s no energy in those objects anymore, they’re inert and I’ll box them up.

I’m not keeping “his side” of the room. Or his set ups. Maybe that’s not right? But he left he said he’s moved away permanently.

I have sadness about him. His beautiful eyes and smile. Our embraces, our laughs. The thousands of times we walked side by side being a couple. The intimate moments we shared.
