Good Lord, it has been a while.

Not that anybody reads these anymore, but that's besides the point.

Things have again changed dramatically since I last wrote in this. When I last wrote, I had thought things were on track, but it turns out that I was sadly mistaken.

I was living on my own with a woman whom I was engaged to, and everything seemed to be going alright. But I guess I wasn't the boyfriend she expected me to be, and kicked me right the hell out, and left me for another man. In a fairly quick order.

So, with no choice, I had to move back home, and I've been here for...a year now.

It's funny, they say that "After a breakup, the loyal one stays single and deals with the damages until healed. The other one is already in a relationship".

Ain't that the bloody truth.

I was picking up the pieces and she was getting plastered at a bar with her new boyfriend.

Whatever.

It's been a year, and I'm good now. I've since gone back to school, I'm weeks away from getting my car back on the road, and I've been dating a lovely woman since January who is already making plans for her future with me.

She's amazing.

She made a joke a short time ago when we went to a screening of Captain Underpants, because Captain Underpants, about getting a copy for little ones in the future. So when I asked if she was planning that far ahead already, she reassured me that she was in this for the long run.

I've never felt so honoured.

But that's besides the point.

Life doesn't suck, and we have to live each day to the fullest. I haven't always been the most shining example of that mentality, but therapy and building your life back up from nothing will do that. I also had a friend, which took my by surprise.

This friend of mine, who was famously portrayed by Christopher Reeve in the late 70's and into the 80's named Superman.

I know, I know, it seems blasphemous from a Batman fan like myself.

But Superman taught me to walk with my head held high, and to be hopeful for the future. That one man can make a difference in the world around him, and to be the light in the darkness.

So, here I am.

The world needs positivity.

Make a difference.
