(and have grown so much)
This was written while I didn't have internet at my apartment:
(Btw, I made it here safe and sound on Sunday)
Talking to a co-worker and introducing them to the bare bones of my past, I talked about a bunch of things, but what got ME thinking was the reason I avoid chick flicks when and if at all possible—it got me down, so I watched MIB (yay for distractions) and I was able to distance myself enough through that so I could think logically without just needing a hug or at least a sad phone call to exactly the wrong person...
3 ½ years ago, if we hadn't broken up and I had gotten married, these are what I could've missed out on:
(Some can be done while married, but I might not be able to tell if it was all me)
--Road-trip and stayed in all kinds of crazy places
--2 years of construction and half a year of being a security guard/mall-cop
--This summer job doing installs for Vivint
--Multiple train rides
--Ability to sympathize with ppl having their heart shattered
--Would never have been Sophia's roommate or done any pet-sitting
--Never have lived with so many married couples
--Realize that I actually do like kids if they're not spoiled *shock*
--Realize that I am incapable of being okay with a child giving me attitude
--Taken psychology and child development classes (but still know that college is not for me)
--Making steady progress instead of maybe prematurely thinking I've gotten over Mom and focus all my anger somewhere else, thus making it harder to pinpoint
--Finally getting a handle on my bitterness and only losing patience at normal times, like when someone is sticking to their original beliefs/perceptions and ignoring all logic
--Drive a motorcycle
--Braid my hair on my own
--Learn to not only respect but love my body
--Take another shot at owning a car and trying to maintain it correctly
--Discover on my own that I truly despise cooking
--I am different from others in the way I enjoy exercise (though I am lazy)
--Realized that while I can certainly live somewhere besides the South, I truly cannot live without the ocean or travel on a regular basis

I'm glad you'll be by the ocean. I enjoy it too.
I like the part about the ability to sympathize with people who have gotten their heart shattered. I had an experience before Austin and I started dating that allowed me to understand people who date someone that doesn't love them but only uses them, and while it wasn't fun, it really opened my eyes.
