An introduction to my blog and why it is called "Miles Behind Me".
This year has been a year of, well turmoil.
At the beginning of the year I was happy.
I was in a relationship that would be nearing the 3 year mark. I was in college trying to earn a degree.
And then things turned for the worst.
Now I can't say the relationship was perfect. We would fight but what couple doesn't. I was given a promise ring.
For several weeks I didn't have a place to stay. He wouldn't let me stay with him, came up with excuses to why I couldn't. Luckily I have great friends that would put me up and I only had to stay in a hotel twice. But after a few weeks I found an apartment, and one of my friends cosigned so I could move in since I had no rental history.
Three weeks after he gave me the promise ring, he had asked me to meet him at the canal. It was a beautiful night. My heart began to sink as we walked around the canal and I heard the reasons he no longer wanted to be with me.
He didn't want kids. He couldn't see us continuing our relationship. He said he was sorry he lead me on.
Few weeks later I found out he had cheated on me and got a girl pregnant. I was depressed. Why wasn't I good enough? I pulled out of it. I had friends supporting me.
Six months later someone from my past popped back into my life. I was still getting over my breakup and having a hard time with it. We had liked each other in college and during our talks it came up, why don't we date. So then it began. I hadn't seen him in some time... so we made a plan to meet and I booked a flight to Maine (he was there for a few months). We clicked just like we used to. He rushed things a bit... After 4 days of dating he said I love you. He named our first kid pretty much right away.
Then he had to go to Florida. I went to visit. But in all I didn't spend much time with him, but we talked everyday and became closer than what we were. He said he was excited to be the stepdad to my kids. I flew home and the next day he broke up with me... via text message.
This is all so recent, and it seems like once again the bottom is falling out on me.
I am putting it all behind me. I've had a very bad year and as I have seen it several years leading up to this year have been bad.
I am going to do some traveling. Be free. Do some things I have put off. I am glad to have several friends supporting me in this new adventure.
So this blog... so named Miles Behind Me will be about my adventures. And how I am leaving everything that happened to me this year, miles behind me.
