As you can guess, the main reason for being MIA (пропасть без вести) is really important. In a nutshell, I just got out of (выйти из) a seven-year relationship and ended up (в конечном итоге) living alone.

People around me are still baffled (быть озадаченным) by the fact that our break-up is amicable (мирный) (as possible). Some of them still hope and think we will get back together.

Naturally (естественно), you need some time to mourn (оплакать) the relationship and process the fact of the breakup. Thankfully, we’re still in touch and have opportunity to vent (выговориться).

Also I spent hundreds of hours glued (прикован, приклеен) to my computer because I was mapping out (планировать) lessons for my students, teaching classes, and doing other things.

This is my first time of living alone, first time of being alone in 7 years, my first so difficult break up, so many firsts …

“What doesn’t kill us makes stronger”. Let it be the motto (девиз) of 2024
