And So It Goes

And just like that; it’s over. After being together for almost four years, we’ve gone our separate ways. I suppose that I always knew that it would come to this, but in the back of my mind I wanted to believe that somehow things would work out between us.

I thought long and hard about whether I wanted to write about the breakup, but surely there are some readers out there that have gone through similar experiences and can understand.

I’m not ashamed to say she was my first. But as good as things were between us in those first few years, there were recurring problems in the last year that we couldn’t overcome. Oh sure, we could have held on longer and made each other miserable, but what’s the purpose in that?

And so it goes; my computer and I have parted ways. And yet, as sad as such breakups are, I consider myself fortunate that a new computer has come into my life. The two of us hooked up rather magically and she has made the breakup all the more bearable. While there will always be a special place in my heart for my first computer, I don’t mind saying that the new computer is smoother and sexier and with many more options. And she laughs at all my jokes.

    Always fun to get a new computer. I remember the other one being old when I gave her a spin. Now I’m guessing you have a CD burner and all sorts of other fancy add ons. Hope you’re having fun with it.
