An Amazing Truth

Today I realized that it has been almost 1 year since I met my most recent qualifier. It was June 2, 2017 that I first began talking to him and that entanglement would change my life in ways that I could never have imagined back then. Not long after meeting him, he made it extremely clear that he had no intentions of moving from Buffalo and that if we had any hopes of making things work, I would have to move there. I spent almost no time at all making the decision to do this because after all, I couldn't let such a pithy thing as distance stand between me and my "true love". When I got my first after college job in August, it was with the absolute knowledge that it would be temporary because I had my fairy tale life awaiting me in Buffalo. Moreover, and perhaps more disturbing, I knew that this relationship would be like no other. I just has a deep down feeling that this man was "The One". In fact, not long after meeting him in person and of course having sex mere hours after first meeting, I could perfectly see in my mind the image of how handsome he would look on our wedding day, dressed up in a nice tux. Both my son and his would naturally be in the wedding and it would be one of the happiest days of my life.
The degree of absolute unmitigated fantasy that was present in all of these thoughts makes me cringe today. All of those hopes and dreams that I had for someone I didn't even know. What's more, once I did get to know the true him, none of those things would I have wanted to happen between me and the Devil Incarnate.
For months after I met him, the magnetic attraction that I felt towards him wouldn't release me from it's grip. Finally with him dumping me and then me finally facing the cold hard truth, God did for me what I couldn't do for myself. He gave me my life back. For that, I will be forever grateful. For you see, even though I face an unknown future where I am not guaranteed my "Happily Ever After" that I have always wished for, I am guaranteed a peace and serenity that I have never experienced before. That is worth more than anything I could ever hope for.
