You know the saying one door r and another opens?
I just got out of a one year relationship. The fourth year plus relationship I've had.
I knew it felt unhealthy in the middle. She would decide things that we did, and have strong opinions on what I should do or be around.
In the end I think both of us realized it wasn't good. I work a lot. A lot. And I'm never home to be that "boyfriend" who is always there and present when he needs to be.
I gave up musical pursuits.
It's been about three weeks now. Since we stopped seeing each other and she moved on to some more exciting guy.
But.
I got in a band. A good one at that! And I've rediscovered my passion for playing the drums again.
So maybe it was less of a door opening and more like the ceiling blowing open.
