The break-up with my now ex-girlfriend led me on a long, broken path that has made me a much different person that I would have been had we somehow stayed together. I am the person I should have been then, or at least pretty close.
I learned that you can have really crappy things happen to you, but eventually there's something to be gained from it. I came back up to the SF Bay Area, a place she did not want to live in, and got a job doing something that had never interested me before--journalism. I also lost almost forty pounds and have kept it off since I began last summer. I'm a lot more aware of to what degree people can hide their desires and motivations, aware of a much broader scope and depth of human nature, and I know exactly what kind of person I want to be with this time around.
