GAL did take a little longer than I would have liked.
I was left with quite a mess to clear up after she left.
60-70 hour weeks to pay for a new home and clear debt. I had to clear out the contents of a 5 bedroom house to move to a one bedroom apartment.

Not much time for myself! LOL

Since her departure I like to think I've done a lot.
New career with a future
Turned photography hobby into a small business
Started writing and performing music again (solo)
"Freshened up" with new wardrobe and car
More spontaneous by going out and visiting places unplanned.
Moving on to a new country

There's a lot of other things that are better/different to life a year ago.

Yes, they make me happier in general. It is nice that people remark on how well I'm looking or are shocked at the positive change in me.

Only thing is, missing her. And thinking of all our plans we had.
They do put a shadow over everything from time to time.
No matter what I do to make life better for myself.
