A Change of Plans

I watched a movie recently called The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. In it a character says "Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end." I've come into a struggle as of late and I've chosen to take this on as my mantra to get through it.

Gilbert and I have broken up, and while my heart is in pieces on the floor, I'm trying to be positive. The time finally came for us to face the fact that we couldn't give what each other needed. There were other problems that lead up to the final moments, most of which I'll accept the fault for, but the biggest issue that always waited for us to face was that.

We're ending on really good terms. He's my best friend, I'd hate myself if I ruined our friendship. It's going to take a while to get back to it, but I know we'll still be close when all is said and done.

I wouldn't give up the past 2.5 years for anything. I had an amazing time, made some amazing memories, and learned some surprising things about myself. Most notably that I am capable of truly opening up to someone.

I will always love Gilbert. I will always think back fondly to the incredible adventure that our relationship was. I have a hard few months ahead of me, picking up the pieces when your life falls apart is never easy, but I know I'll be the better for it all in the end. Gilbert has changed my life.



For you Bany. I hope you find happiness. You're destined for some amazing things, I can't wait to be there cheering you on as you achieve your dreams. Thank you for giving me the time we had together.
