Being Single in the City

They say every good writer knows when to stop writing. I do not consider myself a good writer but I do know when it is time to end. Words cannot describe what the impact this blog has had on my life. It is really life changing....I’ve made an amazing group of friends...some of my closest friends started off as readers of the blog. 800 entries, six years and many tears later, it is time to end one chapter of my life...and start another one.

When God closes a door, he really opens a window...one that faces an amazing piazza in Rome.

I am not sure if I am any wiser or smarter after all the posts...all the experiences...good and bad...the joys and heartbreaks...the crazy bosses and work colleagues, the holidays and the travel for work. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

The last twelve years in Sydney have been amazing. I would not change anything...well maybe one or two things but overall there are no regrets. It is all part of the journey and I feel more positive and secure in the future. Thanks for sharing my life...

The blog has been my salvation...being single in Sydney is tough..so thank you for sharing the last few years with me. I appreciate your comments, feedback and e-mails. Thank you for sharing your own story with me...when you share I do not feel alone.

The search for love is a universal one...and I’ve met readers (in person and through emails) from all over all the world. Straight, gay, boy, girl...everyone out there is looking for love.

As Carrie Bradshaw once said, "I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love." Carrie could not see it in that hotel room in Paris. I cannot see it in Sydney. So I’m changing my life and leaving...to search for my great love...he’s out there. I do not know where I will end...as my journey is just beginning but I know something wonderful is coming right around the corner. I know things are about to get better. I feel empowered by my actions and know that I am in control of my own destiny.

Thank you and I wish you all well. Comments (via email - sydney102@hotmail.com) are appreciated. Stay posted for info on how to buy the book version of this blog (out hopefully later in the year).

I will continue blogging - no longer as the single guy and look forward to our paths crossing on the blogosphere.
