So there's a lot going on in the land of Iggy.
To get right down to the nitty gritty, I'm getting a divorce.
'But Iggy,' you say, 'didn't you just get married a year ago?' I can picture the look on your pretty faces to be one of shock and chagrin.
Yes, I did get married May of last year. He cheated on me in January. I found out in February. We tried to work it out, but it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't get over the lies. I couldn't get the image of him and the other people out of my head. And i found out that he not only lied to me but lied to those other women as well, telling them that he and I were poly when we weren't.
Then we tried actually being poly, which can work beautifully as long as there's complete honesty, but he wasn't honest then, either.
I wasn't perfect, either. During that time I fell in with a truly terrible person who warped me from being a loving and caring person into shattered fiend.
It was all broken. We were broken. No amount of super glue and duct tape could fix us.
The good news is that, since I moved out, I'm the happiest I've been in years. Seriously, in years. I'm still in Charlotte living with my best friend and an awesome room mate. I have my cat. I'm playing music again and writing. I'm getting to know myself again. I'm going on dates but am not ready for any sort of relationship. I'm cultivating new friendships and fostering existing ones with complete love.
My life is full of love. So much love.
I'm not working on the horse farm anymore. The commute got to be too much and my boss and I weren't seeing eye to eye. It was becoming vaguely toxic and a place that had once been my sanctuary started giving me anxiety attacks. Nowadays I'm just working at the restaurant and a little bar/convenience store here in town. I'm learning how to pour the perfect pint. It's not as easy as it looks!!
I'm sorry I don't get on here much. Life has a way of running away with your time, especially as you get older. I'll be 35 in a few weeks. Such a scary number, but my thirties have been the best years of my life so far so I suppose it can only get better from here.
Plus, I still look damn good.
