What's a guy to do?

In the midst of shutting down my business and the insuing job search--which is actually going pretty well--something entirely unexpected happened yesterday.

I got dumped.

Things had been going, I thought, famously. To the tune that Julie had been talking about long term plans, etc. As well as professing her undying love for me. Which had me excited and comtemplating a happy future with her as well.

But last night, she gets home from work, turns off the TV says, "we have to talk. I'm not happy in this relationship, and I want out. Sorry." She then starts crying, I pack my shit, and that's that.

Sudden, abrupt, and over. I'm left hurt, and scratching my head... But there's nothing I can do now. I can't play the on again off again game, I never wil--already done that too many times.

So, I'm jobless, hurt, but strangely not feeling defeated. I really feel like I have a new start on two very important parts of life, and it's exciting. I feel like I get to make my own rules, and that I have a bright future.

So all in all, there's hurt and uncertainty, but hope and excitement. And freedom.
