Rosine and I are no longer in a relationship. We broke up two days before New Year’s Eve. Now that I feel more at peace with it, I’m writing a blog post about it.

Our relationship was not aligned with her Highest Path and Purpose, or anything else, really. On the contrary – it was detrimental to it. She had a bad gut feeling about it for some time, and we both agreed that breaking up was the best decision, but it was hard. I spent the following days trying to focus on other things, yet kept thinking about the memories she gave me.

We both still love each other very much, and that’s what makes it difficult. It would have been much easier if we hated each other. I love her enough to let her go, though. I see her as a very good friend more than I see her as my ex-girlfriend. No matter how much it sucked, we had to do it. I’m certain we made the right decision, even though it’s sad.

Rosine and I are – in our own words – wonderful, amazing and awesome, and we will probably love each other forever, even if we never see each other again. We’ve spent barely a year together, yet I’ve never felt so close to anyone. It was an incredibly good year, and that means a lot coming from me – this lifetime has been very good most of the time, so far. I hope we can have an aligned relationship in another lifetime, or even in this one.

No matter the circumstances, I enter this new decade as an optimist.
