New Stationery

Draft from: 2009-05-29 01:06:12

I’ve finally received my letterhead and business cards last week so I’ve sent out some letters a few days ago to those who were interested. I love how my bee peeks through the window of the envelope. I’m happy with my new stationery especially the paper but I have doubts about my business cards. They look really cool with the spot UV but they forgot to print the brown colour in the background gradient, the hands and eyes of the bee, the icons and the text. So to me it all looks slightly too dark.

The black gradient (which should’ve been brown) seems too much of a contrast on the white background. So I’ve sent a letter to the printer asking for a reprint and hopefully they’ll take it into consideration. Lucky me they still have the proof which I approved so they should be able to tell the difference… I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope they’ll print and deliver it on time! I’ve published this post a week later because I wanted to wait until the letters had arrived in the US, The Netherlands and Malta *hehe*

Update: I’ve heard from several people today and yesterday that they’ve received my letter so I guess it’s save to publish this post *wink* The printer received my complaint about the cards in the meantime and is working on a reprint…

Realisation

Posted on by

I was surprised to see how the ex was upset when I told him about the arrangements I’d made. I’m dividing stuff between us, I don’t really have to but I’m giving away things I don’t need and so I have to ask questions and see if he’s okay with the way I arranged it or if he wants me to change it. Just the fact that I had to ask these questions caused sadness and hurt on his face and when I asked him what was wrong he turned away and said: ‘nothing…’

I guess it only just now starts to dawn on him, the realisation that something is becoming so final while it had been final to him for a couple of years already or at least he thought it was. I’ve been through all of that the moment he told me about his decision at the time. I’m only doing what is necessary to get those parts of my life back that I’ve lost along the line, that I’ve given up on when I was told it wasn’t important enough to keep.

So my approach is a different kind, I try to keep things in balance without getting too emotional. It’s almost like the roles are swapped… perhaps he did learn something over the years or is no longer afraid to show true feelings. I don’t know… I know I was surprised to see emotions that I’ve not seen before. Some things are not easy for me either but I’m looking ahead and see what is waiting for me at the horizon: a clean slate, a new beginning.
