When I received the news a year and a half ago that my ex-wife had filed for divorce, I thought my life was over. Nothing else seemed to matter. My entire world for so long was that divorce.

But now the world seems so large and I'm excited to explore it now. There are so many paths I can travel. So many ways to invest in myself without the fear of losing my partner. I can finally start to transition into becoming a game developer and giving it my all into the lifestyle. I know all about the long hours. I could have never done that while having a partner. I can start working 24/7 to get out of debt.

I'm getting excited. And this is an emotion that I never thought I would have experienced.
