I’m intentionally burying this post on a Saturday afternoon in the middle of the holidays, because I don’t really want to write it. I just thought that I should update those of you who are interested enough to subscribe to the blog via RSS or those of you who go back to read back dated posts. The thing is that Birmingham and I broke up a few days ago. It was sad, I am sad. I don’t want to say too much about it, because it was amicable, and I would like to respect his privacy. The bottom line is that dealing with the broken ankle and living alone made me realize that I don’t want to live alone anymore. And because he can’t do it now, and doesn’t want to do it now, living together as a couple was out of the question. It was not easy to decide what to do, but it was becoming much harder to keep denying that we wanted different things. The worst part is that after four years, I felt that I couldn’t just be friends. Not right away, anyway. So for some time to come, we won’t be seeing each other at all, and that’s been particularly awful, especially since we spent the holidays apart, and there are so many little things I want to tell him.
Anyway, I’m closing comments on this one, because this post is just for informative purposes, and commenting on it seems frivolous or something. I don’t know, just not appropriate for the occasion. I’ll be back with regular stuff in the new year.
