Aside from having that song stuck in my head, today should be a good day, right?
After months and months of delays, process servers and rushed trips to court my marriage is finally, irreversibly and officially over. I’m once again a free woman, and yet strangely I don’t feel like celebrating.
I really thought I’d be happy today. I thought that closing this chapter would bring some peace to my life. Instead it seems to have stirred up emotions I thought I had reconciled long ago.
So tonight, I am going to open an expensive bottle of wine. I’m going to sift through the remaining possessions I have that remind me of my now ex-husband, and I’m going to think about the good times and the bad.
Then I’m going to get out my marriage certificate, light a match, and watch that fucker burn.
After that I will close this chapter once and for all, and turn a new page. Tomorrow I will wake up and breathe in deep the scent of a fresh day and a new start.
My past has made me the person I am today, and I’m going to try my best to look forward to tomorrow.
Sounds like a very good plan.
Thanks V. Can I call you V? It makes it sound like we know each other personally don’t you think? *hugs*
My divorce was final in July. We talked about it for years before we did it. I promise, it gets better.
PS. Do you live in Columbus?
Hi Katie, the divorce has taken a lot to make happen and I’m glad it’s finally over! Time for new beginnings now. Ps. I’m not from Columbia. Sadly. I’m from Australia. Which really isn’t sad at all. Not sure where I was going with that at all.
Here’s to celebrating freedom.
Excited for you and your new life!
New to your blog, looking forward to reading more.
