When I got divorced I felt like my life was ending.

But my life was just beginning. OMG. Same sex love. Being comfortable with being a lesbian. Rejecting all my parents values and being a total Democratic BLUE voter. I Love It.

My experience was the opposite. I never cried and it actually seemed to energize me. I'm much happier now, unattached.

But I’m much happier now. I called my divorce empowering because I didn’t know if I was gonna make it. But I did with good family n friends. Stay positive ... be well

I divorced years ago. Our relationship was so similar to the one shown in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", which was released after the divorce, it's incredible to me. Even the parts with the impulsive female character regularly changing her hair color was reminiscent, given that my ex-wife was a beautician.

Well, my ex-wife started doing cocaine without me realizing it until after the divorce... so that part was very different from the movie.

I never remarried, and single life is fine with me. If it ever happens again, it certainly won't be from me actively seeking it out.

Best wishes to you and your new life!

Many people never find that kind of freedom and happiness.

As Henry David Thoreau said, most people "live lives of quiet desperation."
