Haven't been around this forum much. Thought I'd check in.

It's been 1 year since BD. A lot of things changed especially the last couple of months.

Got myself a new job. Very busy all the time. Been engaged in several business discussions with some investors. Might have to give up the security of a permanent job to do what I want in life, although it's just around a month in this new job.
My prototype development has stalled. Need to continue focusing on it again. Time is what I can't afford right now!
I realize that there's more to life than moping around and hoping to see changes in XW and the situation. I gave that up.

Kids are great. D5 and D4 loves my visit. It's always papa here, papa there, papa do this, papa do that. It's great.

Well, XW is still XW. From the last conversation we had, she still blames my mom and sis for the D. Wanting so much for me to acknowledge it. I did so many times over after BD. Don't know if she will ever snap out of it. Looks like she's the one who can't let go. I will honour my family. Nothing I can do to change the past. I don't blame any of them. Things happened for a reason. It's afterall her perspective. I have my own.

The girl who interested in me is still interested. I can't change her too. She is not what I want unfortunately, although I would say she's very much different from XW. That said, I'm staying in the friend zone nevertheless.

Looking forward to the future. Had a hunch it will be better.
