It’s amazing what can happen over 10 years. This day back in 2009, I was in San Jose, CA, with my ex, Ryan, going to see Nine Inch Nails/Jane’s Addiction “Waving Goodbye” tour. Ryan had gotten us access backstage to the concert and we got to meet Trent Reznor and other members of NIN and we had one of the best times of our lives.
That was about a month before we broke up. Looking back, I can’t even remember why we broke up, but I do know that neither one of us was emotionally mature enough to do what was needed to repair our relationship. That was too bad because I believe he was my soulmate. After we broke up, I ended up rebounding with someone I should never have gotten together with and spent 10 years of my life with an individual who didn’t love me.
Fast forward to today. I spent all day packing my belongings in the house that my ex and I bought 5 years ago. I plan on getting the rest of my items packed tomorrow and I’ll get a moving truck in a couple of weeks to move my entire life out of the Methow Valley.
Overall, I feel good, albeit I have a cold; the first one I’ve had in almost three years. I met with the realtor my ex chose to list our house on July 1, and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to walk away from this fiasco with some money in our pockets.
