Since we last spoke my ex has got married.
You may remember that I tried to contact Ellie some time ago, as I didn`t know whether she was single, or not. After doing some snooping around I was able to ascertain that she was engaged to become married. Back then I was unsure of how I felt about this. We had been `over` a while, & it was far from my place to make any comments on her future happiness. So I came to the conclusion that it was a new feeling that I was experiencing, & that I should monitor myself accordingly.
Recently the marriage has taken place, & she has posted the photos onto her twitter page, for anyone to look at ( of which I have sent you a link ). I was surprised to feel that I was not in the least bit sad over this. In fact, I began to feel elated, as though I felt great relief, & then mild shock that I had even been involved with someone of this caliber.
What I want to share with you today is a realization that I have out-grown that part of my life. The schism between Ellie & I, & a whole host of people from back then, is as wide as the Gulf. And had I stayed with her, & in that frame of mind, I would probably be looking as though I fit into one of those pictures. This is why I am reporting today that I am so much happier now. For when I was with her I can now see how utterly miserable I was then.
