Just a quick one before I begin the ritual of war painting myself to go out tonight.
I have realised that no matter how craptastic, sad, bad, horrible, mediocre, you might think life is - you never know when something totally unexpected will happen to put a smile on your face.
Today my Ex (the one I was with for three years) came into work with his brothers, and bought a computer from me. The whole interaction was so civil, and so pleasant, we totally interacted like actual friends - even his brother was being awfully nice to me (I was always intimidated by him). And the whole seeing him, and talking and serving to him for an extended period of time today, has made me feel that little bit brighter on the inside.
I feel brighter, because I didn't feel anything ill, or angry, towards him anymore. It was like I finally got closure - I don't know how - but it's like there was a happy ending after all? And I feel really good right now.
That was totally unexpected. And I never would have thought that a small spark of light would have found me in this dark hour of my life, at work (of all places), and from my Ex. Actually, his name is Daniel. He's a person. I don't like personifying him as the Ex anymore...
So there you have it. It might seem miniscule, but I just thought I would share my revelation.
No matter how bad you might think things are, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Lex xoxo
