I'm vested as of two days ago but need to wait 3.5 more years to draw a pension (age 55). Then I can truly enjoy my exit interview... until then I think I'll start moving away from skipping all my breaks and lunches and start availing myself of the benefits to being a civil servant.
ETA - thanks for the hugs, the anger is slowly turning to sadness. They hurt my beloved.
If it gives you any consolation, at least she's moving onto something better--or at least I hope she is--at her new job. Plus, she has you.
And that's a lot.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
