Today marked the end of a chapter in my life. I spent it in the midst of caring friends and bottles of Martinelli's non-alcoholic sparkling cider. Despite my socially induced anesthesia, it was a rough day.It is difficult to think that the person you spent two and a half years with got married by the end of your morning shower. It is even more difficult to save face in front of people who do not entirely understand.
We spent our day at the carnival in front of the Pacific Science Museum in Seattle. While riding teacups and merry-go-rounds, I would occasionally drift into thoughts of her standing in a receiving line giving hugs to people she rarely associates with.
I imagined what the punch was like at her reception while purchasing the night's first bottle of Martinelli's. I am sure everything was decadent considering how bourgeois her family is.
After the "5 hour energy" wore off, the second bottle of Martinelli's finally elicited an emotional response from me at 3 am. Tsige was their to receive the hateful rants and declarations of independence.
However, a hopeful future lies in friends, family, health and wealth.
It is time to rebuild, and today was the groundbreaking.
