All I know for sure is that nothing is. Boys come, boys go. Tis never a tragedy but only making space for a new one. If things work, great, if not there's a good reason. Hurt is the scab on the wound, a new man before you are done healing only a band-aid. You own your heart and mind when you have no need for band-aids.
When I was forced to leave a relationship after 9 years I rode and rode and rode. Incredible therapy. I met so many new people and made friendships that are still with me today, 9 years later. Come to think of it, I met my husband while out riding and during my first mtb race season we kept bumping into each other. That led to riding together and realizing how great we fit.
I was SOOOOOOO messed up when I left the other guy but this one is so much more than he ever was. Sure, it was a lot of heartache and a couple years worth of both dud guys and guys who were great but just not for me. I had many great adventures I'd have never had otherwise and am way happier than I could ever have been with guy #1. More importantly I remembered who I am by myself and how strong I am as an individual. Now, in retrospect, I can't even imagine how I didn't know we really weren't right for each other in the first place.
Ride long, ride hard, cry, laugh, socialize, learn something new or pick up something you used to do again, enjoy. Huge hugs and best wishes for your future. There's always a reason.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
