I've titled this Act III. It's my third thread, and if my life were a movie or a play, I feel like it's now moving into its third act.
Act one was my life before meeting W. Lots of youthful discovery and excitement. Feeling the need for a companion as I matured.
Act two was my life with W. From when I met her until now, with the end of our marriage looming. Twenty-six years, mostly very good as far as I'm concerned. (Perhaps she would disagree, although she left behind many indications otherwise).
In the third act, there's uncertainty but also a lot of possibility. I am trying to navigate the uncertainty while embracing the possibility.
I remember the words of the wise philosopher Kermit the Frog, who said, "Life's like a movie; write your own ending." I'm determined to make that ending as good as I can make it.
