Homecoming

I figured the day after Valentine's Day was as good as any to return. If anything, it could mark the chance for a clean slate, to start over without the excess baggage of the last couple of months. So I come back a little wiser, a little stronger, a little humbler and likely a little more cynical.

Long story short, N wasn't a good guy. I saw the signs, but I overlooked them for reasons that warrant their own posts. Turning a blind eye had its consequences, but at the very least, I came out of it with lessons learned and hopefully the foresight to flag the flags the next time around. Flags -- that's a whole other topic in itself. For now, it feels good to be back.
