Damages

It seems like for a long time there was a lot of residual damage that kept me from being myself. Actually there was a lot of residual damage that made me get inside a shell and kept me from being anything more than shy. I think I wanted to be protected from being scrutinized to the point that someone would leave me again. I think I'm finally snapping out of that and it's great! It only took about 2 years, but honestly thats about the amount of time the experts say it takes.

Divorce leaves a scar that lasts and gives you a new appreciation for ex-wife and mother-in-law jokes, and I still wouldn't change that for anything, but I gotta say it's nice to start to feel normal again.

Advice from Mark Sheppard

So, I recently attended DragonCon 2010 and got the following words of wisdom from Mark Sheppard, who played Badger on Firefly.

"Oh divorced eh? I've done it twice now and it was the best decision I've ever made. Both times. Eventually you'll meet the one you're supposed to be with and it'll scare the shit out of ya. But don't look back mate, it's the best thing that could've happened to ya!"

He's so right lol...
