Friends are forever & Rob was NEVER that...

So its happened!!
The next chapter has begun!! I arrived after mid day yesterday at my new pad in downtown Toronto. A bit of a rocky start with moving and all, but eventually pretty much all my stuff was moved in. I have one small trip to do with the mover and then I'm full on, in my new place with no return to Regal Rd. Friends popped in yesterday to check out my place and wish me well, which was sweet. Once my friends left and I carried on clearing things, putting things away etc, I was walking from the bedroom to the living area, with a grin on my face, and I said to myself,
"This is MY place, My place!"
This is a new start in a new place with no thought of my horrid past with Rob, there is NO Rob here, which is brilliant. I told my friends I felt removed From what I'm not sure, my life as I knew it? My life that was at a standstill for the better part of 10+ years? Setting up house is fun and stressful but its all about me. I'm done with the life I had at Regal Rd, primarily having shared i with Rob. All the memories I create here are mine and all mine. There is no one to share it with and I don't want to share it with anyone. Yesterday as I awaited for the movers to load up, I spoke to my mom. She asked if I was moving in with someone, my response, "Hell no!". I said I would never do that again, I don't want anyone. She said, "never". I said, I'm not looking and I'm not wasting my time that way. Should it happen, good for me, as for pursuing it, looking for it, its not happening, nor is it something I want, not now. I learned a few things from my time with Rob. Things that hopefully will stop from having history repeat itself. Ive learned to listen to my instinct. If I feel something is wrong, something isn't going right, or I have a suspicion, then I'm probably right, I was with Rob pretty much all the time. Not to trust too easily. I'm pretty open with my life, but I should be suspect of anyone asking more than I'm offering. Being taken for a fool by someone like Rob in turn has made me feel the fool, only because I thought I was smarter than that, and I'm sure Rob thought or hoped he was smarter to outsmart me, but for that, he was wrong. So no one special for me, and no need. I told my mom, I have lots of friends, and that's what I want. That lovers come and go, some waste more time than others, but regardless, they come and go...Friends are forever & Rob never was that!
