When Allen first died, all I could focus on was the fact that he was gone. No longer would I have someone to call when I needed to talk about anything, no longer would there be arms to have around me. There was no one left for me to grow old with. There was no one here for me to worry about. There was no one left for me to focus on.
Now I'd have to deal with me. Who am I, what do I want out of life? What do I like?
Most people probably think they know the answers to these questions, but when you have been part of a pair for so long, it's hard to know what just your wants are.
The first really hard question someone asked me was what did I like?
I like a lot of things, but when I was asked I could still only think in the terms of what did "we" like? I'm not a "we" anymore. I like board games, and cardgames. I'm not so much into video games. I love movies and books. I like some television. I like wine. I love food. I like roller coasters and the beach. I like being outside. I like animals. I like bubble baths. And lots of other things I'm sure.
Who am I?
That's easy, I am Wonder Woman.
What do I want out of life?
I want to be able to live my life exactly as I choose and not feel guilty for not meeting someone else's goals and expectations. I want a partner that loves me for exactly what I am and not for what they would like me to be. I want to be able to move forward and not live a life full of "I wish" and "I regret".
I'm doing really well with all of these things right now. AND I believe they are all possible. I am moving in the very direction that I wish to and I'm very excited about it!
