An Oppotunity To Grow

I fell in love with a wonderful woman, but things didn't go according to plan. We were once very serious, engaged and ready for marriage. But because of the mistakes I've made, I have pushed her to the limit. Our relationship gave me valuable lessons and made me into a better person. We are still very good friends, actually we can each call each other best friends. As odd as it seems, and even if she has met a new person, my heart is stronger. She can talk about him, although sometimes I'm kind of sick of her talking about him, but I put up with it because my strength is listening, caring, and with everything I put her through, I owe her everything. That's why I want to be the best friend I can be. No matter what, I promised that I would be there for her. Maybe I shouldn't be talking to her at all, but a promise is a promise an that's what I intend to keep.

So now that I am single, I can explore my options and focus on my priorities. Since being back on the ocean, there are plenty more fish in the sea, although I lost a big catch. Life is life and sometimes it doesn't end up according to plan. There are bumps in the road and many things to learn. This is an opportunity for me to shine brighter.

I'm in great shape, my confidence has boosted, and my priorities are my priorities not someone else's. It's time to grow up and be a better man.

M.O.B.

Motivated!
