My Return

I have been gone for a very long time, I realize, and I am sorry for that. I just needed some time and space to clear my head, mainly due to the fact that I broke things off with my fiance'. It's been a while now, and I truly have had no second thoughts. I simply regret that he seems to be quite upset now, despite a lack of emotion at the time.

I have felt more like myself since then, and have been focusing more on my art and writing! Right now I am working on two of six novel plots, one of which I have completed fourteen chapters. I am rather excited, because I feel that these stories and characters have a real chance at going somewhere.

I am happy, and I cannot recall the last time I could say that. I have even started dating again, here and there. Being single, and somewhat new to this dating thing (I haven't been single since I was fifteen, and my ex is the only one I really dated), it's thrown me some curveballs, but I am slowly adapting. The only unfortunate thing is that school has started rather abruptly, and I would much rather summer go on....which reminds me, I'll have to write a blog just about my summer, the first I have truly been able to enjoy in years.

Kai, I'm truly sorry to hear that things didn't work out. I was afraid that's what may have happened; when I first stumbled across your blog a few months back I read through all of it and this was my worst fear.

But you now sound content and more at peace with yourself (at least in as much as you're letting on), so I won't go on about it. It sounds perhaps that it's for the best.

I missed your writing, for a while it was a fairly regular and pleasant part of my daily indulgences. I'm so glad to see you back.

I'm almost in my mid-forties and I've been through it all; I won't give you any unsolicited dating advice except to say please don't settle for anyone less than you deserve, because most guys your age aren't looking to commit and aren't nearly at your level of maturity. I'll change topics now before I start incessantly spinning anecdotes and cautionary tales. :)

I'm excited for you with your art and writing, I know how important it is to you and it sounds like you'll be able to proceed with a clearer head and a fresh perspective. You're onto a new chapter in your life, if you'll pardon my choice of words.

Best of luck to you with everything Kai, I'll keep checking back for updates.

Hi Kai
I'm so sorry tho hear about the end of your relationship but really glad to here you are getting things abck on track and finding your happiness again. I hadn't seen you for months on OBT and I guess that's why. Quite a few of us were worried about you as you were such a prolific poster. I really hope life brings you all the joy and happiness you deserve. Good luck with your writing and with school and I know everyone over on OBT would send their best wishes too.
