An Ex has a New Girlfriend

I wrote the following to my friend in the late summer. And so far I have been okay. I've been taking care of myself and feeling not-devastated. Plus, I have done what I said I would. I'm pretty sure I laughed on Thanksgiving.

 

I will not be devastated about ex. I will cry some more. I will be angry some more.

I will wear my retainers more. I will walk or exercise when I can. I will work on finding a job. I will work on my throw pillows or scrap booking. I will read books I enjoy.

I will cry some more. I will be angry some more. I will learn the lessons from this situation. I will remember the good times and be thankful for them.

I will cry some more. I will be angry some more. But I will live and be grateful for whatever I have. I will remember Janice.

I will go back in two weeks for another blood test because I’m still anemic, per the doctor. I will take care of myself. I will be sad. But I will laugh again.
