Been a while

Well, it's been a while since my last post.
I actually have been trying to post for the last few days but for some reason my web browser did not display the page correctly. So, here I am again trying to post my thoughts.

So much has happened in my life the last week that I don't even know where to begin.
Well, let's see... I guess the most important change this last week is the breakup of my relationship.

I have been in a serious long term (four years) relationship with my live-in girlfriend.
Well, she decided enough was enough and ended the relationship and moved out this weekend.
We both have our share of faults that contributed to the demise of the relationship.
But, I can only focus on my share of the faults.

I know I have some serious issues I need to address in my life.
I will work on them one at a time and conquer these demons.

I met a very wise man this week and he told me this quote, "I know what I don't know."
At first I thought, "What the hell does that mean!"
Then it began to sink in...
I must trust those around me during these times because I may not know the answers to the problems, but those around me will.
I know the issues I can and can not handle.
For those that I can not handle, I must trust in the guidance of my friends.

So, I have a lot of time on my hands now and I have a lot of work to perform on myself.
I have a house that is half empty of physical belongings now, but is completely empty of companionship. The empty house is the hardest part to handle.
I am so used to hearing her voice throughout the day and it is too quiet now.

But as the saying goes, "That which does not kill me only makes me stronger."
