A reason to change.

Being 32, recently single, changing jobs, moving states, and losing some married weight is an adventure.  This song keeps coming back to me and making me think, and I wanted to share it with you.  It's by Hoobastank.:

"The Reason"

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You [x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you.

This song reminds me that I am not the only person to go through a hurtful break-up.  As much as I was hurt in the relationship, so was R.   This blog, the first entry, has completely caused the demise of what little was left of the relationship.  I feel that that is a good thing because it severs the last remaining string in the relationship.  I am ready to move on.  I'm not quite dating yet, but I am more social.

Have you hurt someone in the past?  How so?  Did you change?  Does the other person know that you changed?
