IN MY OWN WORDS
About me: 2012/2013/2014 Update....

2012 was not a "good year".

The year came to a close with the ending of my relationship and the clear and final understanding that I was never meant for having a relationship. Being loved can make you as strong as you can be, and the loss of that love can render you incapable of even the most basic task.

I have now gone through the soul destroying transition in a relationship, from being someone that you never want to leave, to a person that you never want to see again. It seems, that this is the lesson that I am to learn, in this lifetime. It also seems I didn't learn from the last time.

Well, the results have been quite incredible. I will be paying for this refresher Education for some years to come. My personal financial budget is now very tight from now, through to the year 2016. (Yes it is now scheduled, that far away.) It is VERY expensive to be abandoned 7,000 kms from home just after Christmas. (I thought getting there was expensive, but necessary. lol! Was I ever wrong! Getting home was more than double the cost!)

I gambled for a final chance for joy, and blew it, to hell (This was a relationship that started with someone who wanted me). I will live the rest of my life haunted by memories of the look in my mates eyes on my final visit. The look was a cross between a deer caught in car headlights (terror of seeing me) , and a look of complete desperation to escape from a monster.

Well, the benefit is, when I am emotionally conflicted, I walk. In the past 12 months I have recorded walks in excess of 1500 kms. I average about 25 kms per week at this time, but I am slowly coming to a more calm state of despair. I will continue with 15 to 20 kms per week of walking.

So, the year 2013 is a year of severe transition. I will regain my abilities to live my life as a single and independent person, and end looking, for someone to share my life with. I made a promise to my mate, as we have parted, not to cause anyone else to have to suffer as he did.

To make it clear, I have no idea what I did to make this relationship become so terrible. I also know, very well, that I will never know the answer of what I did. I have learned that I am not worth telling. I guess that I am just too bad.

True joy is gone from every aspect of my life. Just in case that anyone is concerned, suicide is most definitely NOT an option. I have lived for 50 years, through the AIDS epidemic, and the loss of most of my friends more than once. My life lesson and punishment will last the rest of my lifetime, but I will not stop living and experiencing the world.
