Today

Today
Is the first day of your life
The first day that you're on your own
Now you know what to call home
I know I'm right for leaving you
- New Found Glory "Second to Last"

I officially have my very own apartment now. That's right. Miss Independent is back and damn it feels good!
Now for the sweaty part. We have already agreed on what goes with me, so time to pack up and head out. Disentangling almost 7 years of life together isn't as daunting as it seemed. One step at a time.
On an emotional level, I keep thinking that at some point I'll get all nostalgic and sad, but so far I just can't seem to stop smiling! I actually feel bad being so happy because I know this is hard for him. He has only just now realized the wrongs he inflicted on me and stopped throwing stones at me.
But, life is complicated and all you can really do is make sure you make the decisions you can live with and have the happiest life possible while infringing as little as possible on other people's happiness. One day he will thank me for this. It's amazing, I've lived my 28 years always being the one clinging to the dead ashes of a relationship frantically blowing on them to recreate the spark and now, I have finally learned to cut ties when they're frayed beyond repair.
Well, got to get back to packing!
