Looking Forward to a New Year
I'm not sure next year will be happy for me, but I'm looking forward to a new year. I've been told I need to live life for myself so I can be happy and I hope to have the nerve to follow through. This year has been wonderful because I've come to this board and met you wonderful people. I've gotten to know some better than others, but know that you are all good friends. In just 31 days, I'll meet a special person from this board. He has become the very best of friends and I'm so looking forward to seeing him in person.
It feels as though my wife senses tension and that things are about to change. With the support I have received from so many on here, I know I can have the strength to do what I need to do. Thanks so much and I'm wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Congratulations on making positive choices for yourself.
I have made the last year or so about making decisions to positively impact my life and change the things that were not working for me. I finally had wls, I ended a relationship that wasn't working for me, and I started performing in new sorts of venues with new people. Here's what I found: Change is really hard. There have been times along the way where I haven't been sure that it was worth it. In the end, though, I'd much rather have the consequences of choices that I have deliberately made, both good and bad, than to just allow life to happen to me.
This is the only life I have, so I firmly believe in creating it myself.
I hope you are able to find a place for yourself where you are comfortable.
