"Just thinking about you. Wanted to say hello." Rang a random text from the ex.
"...silence..." My (non)response to the text.
Indifference is a beautiful thing. A true expression that proves you have completely moved on.

The Funny Thing About Breakups
The funny thing about breakups is that you expect your world to come crashing down when (and if) it happens. But like the pheonix rising from the ashes, you always learn and move on. So I leave with this quick quote:
"I expected emptiness in the aftermath. Instead I found fulfillment in the freedom."
~G
Until next time...

I believe in the power of the universe
I’m always surprised to find out that someone considers them self to be an Atheist. Generally these are people who are in fact sweet, intelligent, emotionally stable individuals. Too consider myself to be sweet, intelligent, and emotionally stable. But I am no Atheist. And after the unfolding of the last seven months of my life, I have NO DOUBT that there is SOMETHING “out there” that’s running this show. I’m not one of those “go to church three times a week and quote the bible every chance I get, converting folk to my religion” type. I’m just a person with perception who has the fortunate vision to see life unfolding in a manically methodical way.
If you take the time to sit back and watch, you’ll be amazed at how one piece came from the last and leads to the next. Nothing happens for naught. There is always an explanation because even the single most seemingly insignificant moment can have a sincerely profound effect on what may occur next. Just think of a time when you’ve said “What if I never had said/done/gone ______”. And think of the events that followed when you made the decision. We always talk about seeing the “big picture”. The funny thing about that is we always wish we could’ve seen it before we actually did. It never works that way. It would be too easy. Lessons are not intended for people who already know the information. They are for those of us in need of learning. We all learn the hard way. There is no other way to learn. And the things that occur are for the single purpose of learning something. You know you’ve learned it when you see the big picture. Like Freamon from The Wire said “…and all the pieces matter.” This is true in life in order to see the big the picture. For example, when you’re driving, you don’t just see the one car in front of you. You see the street, signs, all that is around you. This is the big picture. This is life. And this is not a sporadic thing. And these things don’t occur because somehow they magically appear out of nowhere. They occur because whatever up above has determined that in order for us to take the next step, we must take this step first. There are no skipping steps, and for those of us who make the silly mistake of doing so, we always fall back down to the bottom.
The Power of the Universe will ensure that your next step is available. But you have to open your eyes to see it. You have the free will to take it and you will be rewarded for your choice. Rewards come in what we may call good…or what we may call bad. But the truth is, there are no such things. Everything is neutral. When you open door number one…you get an answer. When you open door number two, you get an answer. They are neutral. One is not good and the other is not bad. Based on which you choose, you learn a lesson. This is the universe at work. Don’t fight the universe. You will lose. Believe in the power of the universe. Give in to the power of the universe. When the time comes, the big picture will reveal itself to you.

How to Fight a Sociopath and Win
With all this talk about pathological liars and sociopaths and such, I've found myself knee-deep in internet and book research on the topic and I came across a blog written by a self-proclaimed sociopath. I found this article, particularly interesting: How to Fight a Sociopath and Win
The Truth about Truth
Even after all the clues have been put together, new questions continue to arise and the hole you thought was filling is really only growing larger. You can keep digging for new clues as each answer leads down a rabbit hole of additional questions and endless possibilities until you're inevitably involved in the situation you only wanted to remain an observer of. That's when you have to decide or at least realize that sometimes the best answer is no answer. You may never know the truth or the answer to top all answers (thus all questions) but maybe that's to your benefit.
They say curiosity kills the cat. A cliche that's anything but myth. That space in your mind left open to the possibilities may be better off than the one filled with the nagging memory of hardcore truth.
The wife infuriated by suspicions of her husband's philandering may find that not knowing is frustrating. But she may find it much harder to live after catching him in the act with his mistress. Question after question has an answer that's goes deeper into the malicious mystery. The memory of suspicion is short lived however the memory of truth never disappears. It manifests itself in every aspect of your life. For the wife, her ability to trust is shattered and she spends the rest of her life gluing the pieces together. She questions the motives of any man who approaches her. She questions the witty comment made by her boss, taking it personally as she is unable to distinguish whether or not he's crossed the line into sexual harassment. She questions herself and her ability to make sound decisions. She will forever engage in internal dialogue that causes her to question a person's motives.
Ignorance vs. Awareness.
Truth. The foundation of enlightenment or the gateway to emotional and psychological ruin?
