today is the one year anniversary of the finalization of my divorce.
my ex, jinx, is living happily with her high school sweetheart in seattle. we had a nice conversation on what would have been our ninth wedding anniversary, a few weeks back. she’s gotten a promotion at work. she’s pursuing her interests. i’m happy for her.
and really glad that she and i have been able to walk away from 8 years of marriage with warm feelings for each other. seems like a rarity these days.
though it has been a difficult year in many ways, it has been a year about finding out more about who i actually am, what i want to do with this gift of a life, and what i need in a partner. still figuring it all out, but thanks to perseverance and the support of some of the most wonderful peeps on the planet, i’ve separated quite a bit of wheat from the chaff. and that feels great. not having hollywood’s version of a divorce to contend with has made a substantial difference in my process.
so, a great big kiss to jinx. thank you for being in my life.
