Closing Doors. Metaphorically, of course.

Kat Amaya is getting married later this month. I don’t have many ex-girlfriends, but this is the first ex-girlfriend I have ever had to get married. At first it felt a little weird, that someone I use to date was now getting married. But, in all honesty, this was the inevitability of it all. I sort of always knew that Kat and Jeremy would get married someday. Looking back on my experience with her, it seems as though that our relationship was that of convenience and circumstance. Everything we said about how much we liked each other was something to just say, in order to validate being there. I don’t doubt that we liked each other at the time, but I would say that we more so liked not being alone. There were many instances where I knew there was no future between the two of us, and that I was just saying things and acting the way I did simply so I wouldn’t have to be alone. I am pretty sure that things were exactly the same for her.

Regardless, it is a little weird to see how nonexistent you can be in someone’s life. Especially someone who you use to, presumably care so much about. Prior to today, I hadn’t talked to Kat in months. Who knows when the next time will be.

At least that is a period of life that is closed forever. There is no chance of relapse or being stupid and lowering your guard enough to get involved with someone you know you aren’t really interested in. She is married.

And that is that.

And I suppose all is right in the world.
