Hubski, things are pretty good for me right now. My ex and I are texting each other a few times a day, and just started writing each other letters. I don't think either of us wants this to become a romantic thing again (at least not too soon), so it's pretty low key. Still, I'm really happy to be hearing from her. I was terrified when she said she needed to be alone that it would mean she would drop out of my life completely. I'm really happy too that we have been extremely honest and civil this whole time. In other news, I might be living on a boat in the fall? For reasons unknown, my dad is trading in his old boat for a new one about 3000 miles from where we live. It starts out in Oakland, where a really good friend of mine lives, so I might just become a live-aboard for a month or two while I sail up the west coast. A bunch of friends (including my ex) are moving to Seattle around the same time, so currently the plan is to go Oakland - Seattle and back, with lots of time in between to see if there is somewhere I want to live/work on the coast. I have exactly a month until my graduation, which is surprisingly not freaking me out. I still have a pretty sizable chunk of work to do, but honestly, after the craziness of last week, a few papers feel like nothing. I've biked 50 miles since my breakup, and I feel a lot more comfortable in my own body than I have in a while. I'm trying to not become complacent just because I feel less anxious, I don't want the progress I made last week to just disappear. EDIT: Thanks again to everyone who helped me out last week, it helped a whole lot, I mean it.
