What a beautifully constructed work!! The writing seems funny and sarcastic at times, but it cannot hide the pain and trauma underneath. You have a unique style, let me tell you.
Loved it!!!

I enjoyed the strength portrayed in your story Iza, we only get one life and we need it to be the best and only we can choose. You took the bull by the horns here and carved a life out for yourself to make you happy. For too long we are the servants of others and feel aggrieved at not taking control. You did it and I am proud of you. A fine write, much enjoyed. Living alone does not mean you are all alone, love Dolly x x x

This is really good! You go, girl! I like all of it, beginning to the end and especially like your description of your various selves throughout the prose poem. Well done!

This piece is really an expression of that feeling you get when you turn the page on a bad chapter and open the door to a new life. There is that sense of a breath of fresh air, and the excitement of having a clear path ahead, and the freedom to explore where you want to go with it. Nothing like freedom. estory

Thanks for sharing SO much and a brave post! I can tell you are free. I sense it. It looks like you have landed on your feet and have God with you, most importantly. The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation sounds marvelous! We need one here!

Love and blessings, Iza dear, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest.

Thank you for sharing your upbeat outlook and can-do, will-do attitude. You go girl. Life has a lot to offer. It's like that old saying about asking life for a penny when it was willing to give so much more if only we asked.
Best of luck in the contest.

Good for you, Iza! Sounds like it took a while, but you have found your key to happiness at last. Maybe you'll even pick up golf now to really make your life complete! :)

This was a fun read with a happy ending. My daughter was also in a 12-year marriage and was much happier when she got out of it. Often that's what it takes to reset yourself. Nice job with this. - Jim

This essay, Me Not the Enemy, is a triumphant announcement that the future is bright, and the past is the past. Freedom is great when it begins, and better as it goes on.
