Two steps forward, one step back

I really thought I was doing okay.  So my marriage is over.  Glad to be rid of him.  And I was, in not so many words, rejected by someone I started to feel something for.  But for some reason, today on my way home from dropping my roommate off at school, I was singing to a song and a single tear fell.  I brushed it off and continued on my way home when all of a sudden the flood gates opened.  I could not control my crying.  Thank god I had some napkins in my glove box because my nose decided to drip faster than my tears could come out.  Not sure what happened.  Lately I have felt the urge to cry but no tears would come, no matter what I thought about.  So maybe today was it's way of finally releasing me from the weight I have been carrying since my last good cry. 

As much as I tried, I could not stop the thoughts in my head.  While I normally don't like to try to stop, it's not exactly the easiest thing to try and drive a stick shift while blowing your nose and trying to see through the tears.  I thought about pulling over and just letting it out, but I just kept feeling like I would rather be in my home doing this, than on the side of the road.  But this house... ohhh this house.  I am haunted by the memories made in this place we use to call home.  So much of what I see holds some sort of memory of the time we spend together.  If I could I would get rid of it all and start over.  I hope to replace certain things one by one as time goes on. 

Glad the tears have stopped.  Now I feel like I can try and make sense of my feelings.  I wish I could while in the middle of a crying fit, but my emotions are too raw, and it's best for me to just let it run its course.  Now I am left with the swollen eyes and aching head as a reminder of the raw pain I was just experiencing.
