The biggest burst bubble in my life has been my 2 year marriage.
Today, I sent the divorce papers, wedding band and a few other sentimental trinkets to my wife in Spain. From the moment that I decided to end this marriage until now, I have felt pretty cold hearted and almost brutal about the whole thing. Sending off the papers this morning, I wrote her a final good-bye letter. All the emotion that had been hiding behind that veil of cold callousness came out in the letter, and the dam broke in my eyes. I cried this morning like I have not cried in a few months.
Nonetheless, I don't write this in order to strum on the sympathetic heart strings of my readers. The end of my marriage is also the beginning of another adventure, the greatest adventure I know of. So in fact, today is the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I am excited to find out what comes next.
What comes next...
The thing about adventures is just that, what comes next is usually something challenging (a.k.a. hard), often unexpected, and usually something new. I feel like an unprepared student at an exam.
Good thing I was a champion BS artist.
