    So my move to a new city is now complete. It comes at the expense of losing my wife and my life for the past 30 + years - I still somehow feel at peace. My wife cheated on me. My religion turned out to be a farce. I could let that conquer me or I could let go of the chains that have gripped me and expose myself to life's possiblities. I chose the latter.

    So far I feel refreshed. I almost feel saddened in a way - to think so light of the life i'm leaving behind. But the visions i see of the possibilites that lay before me give me hope of a life far richer and more satisfying. i have been here but 3 days and am already feeling a load being lifted off of my shoulders. My ex will carry on her life in the hopes of a near collapse of life on earth called Armageddon - i will carry on mine with a hope of being true to myself as an individual - knowing that i am a good person without needing the vindication and approval of mere man.

    i am surviving. i am living. i am creating a new reality.

    i am me. i can live with that.

    Although I don't have as much as you've had to give up....I do in some ways wish I could relocate and create an entirely new me from scratch. Or just the same me without the hangups and blind friends. But then I remember that I'm sometimes allergic to the unknown...

    I guess you really are living up to your name, Metamorphosis! Catepillar to the butterfly! Or...shoot I don't know...a cicada...

    The unknown can be a scary place. But i decided once the wifey chose some old guys in new york over me that it couldn't get any scarier than that. it's amazing how much i've learned to grow, to love, to understand, to embrace, and to open myself up to since i stopped letting man made rules govern my life and really listened to what it (life) had to offer. i have a closer relationship to god, to people, and to myself than i have ever had before.

    it's a good feeling.

    Metamorphosis, I love your screen name. It is perfect. You are a very brave man and you are doing the right thing. You now have an opportunity to make a new life, new friends, new beliefs. That is a lot at one time. Take it easy. Don't go too fast. I think that you will be the happiest you've ever been. Put the bad stuff behind you but remember the good stuff.

    Good luck to you.
