Emancipation

In the movie Tracks, after the main character Robyn lost her canine companion on her desert journey... she related to the photographer Rick Smolan her feelings:

"I'm all alone Rick"

"We all are Robyn... alone"

These 2 sentences hit me like an epiphany. Essentially we're born alone & will leave this world alone.

Now legally I am without a partner (husband) yet it is fine. I have decided that this situation is survivable. Initially completely distraught, now I find that I can handle the curveballs. No choice. I've got to.

Someone told me that she saw Mr Ex walking in public with a lady & they were intimate. In the past I would have launched a missive about morality & proper decorum for a father of five. Yesterday I was initially upset, but decided to find my centre & message him cordially. About business. No more feelings. We have poured out all the feelings in the world already. That bit is done. Over. Completely finished & concluded.

So my journey continues. I am an independent woman. Very capable, people have said. Just need to improve my confidence a tad & I'll be alright. Most importantly, I have decided to thrive. No more manic accusations or guilt trips or excess baggage.

Let's draw the right kind of love into our lives, shall we?
