I think it's pretty amazing that you're already looking ahead. Give yourself some real time to grieve the relationship, but kudos for being strong enough to consider your future here.

I was going to suggest staying at your dad's, too. Can you go pack up your stuff and put it in storage somewhere?

I was thinking, too, since you're completely open to relocating, that you could put your resume out there with one of those national headhunter sites, like Monster.com, and see what kinds of response you get. I don't know what your field is, but that could bring you some opportunities that you're not even aware of at this point.

I saw a great piece on Patagonia (the clothing company, not the region in South America) and it looked like a really fun place to work if you're super active and have clothing design/marketing/business/whatever-they-need skills. It's a woman-friendly company and they're a block from the beach, so they all get to go surfing on breaks and such.

Have you ever made a Vision Board? You get a piece of poster board and put words and images of all the things you want in your life. It helps you get focused on what's important to you. You find all kinds of great things, but when it comes to committing it to the Board, you really consider if it's what you truly want for your life.

I wish you lots of love and luck in finding a new place to alight.

Emily,
I'm sorry about your breakup! In some ways, it's better to know sooner than later, right?
It's still a major bummer, though!

Thanks everyone!
Today is a much better day
I did ride solo though, I was supposed to ride with a guy friend today, but I decided I just needed a little me time- went and and had a good 2.5 hours this morning.

I just got asked to come back to the LBS that I worked at previously part time, and I loved working there. And yesterday I had someone ask me to nanny 1 or 2 days a week.
So it looks like I am going to stay in south fl for a little and save up some money, and then move

And to everyone from Boulder, I will definitaly be getting in touch when I decide to move in a few months!! I used to live there for 3 years, but I wasn't very active then(i did some trail running, but that was it). So when I move, I would love to have people to hit the road with and learn the area on the bike.

Thank you so much everyone, your little words have been a huge help!

I was in a relationship for years that sounds kinda like your relationship. When it ended, I thought that it was the end of the world. Sometimes we can't see the future because of the "funk" we are currently in. After that break-up I meet someone new and we have been married for 20 years! Better things are ahead for you!

Things are looking up already. Hang in there, Emily.
