Second Act, Same Zip Code

After seventeen years with the same man, I'm starting over at 39 and honestly it's the most alive I've felt in a decade. I kept the house in McClellan Heights, he kept the truck, and we split the dog custody amicably. I'm rediscovering things I gave up for the marriage. I signed up for a pottery class at the art center and I'm terrible at it but I keep going back. I want to date someone who's also been through the wringer and come out the other side still soft. No fresh divorces still bleeding everywhere, please. I've done my healing and I'd like a partner who's done his. Let's skip the mess and go straight to the good part.
