Became the divorced dad guy and honestly its not the worst thing

Got divorced 3 years ago after 15 years together. Thought my life was over. Turns out I'm actually a better person when I'm not miserable. Got my own place, decorated it however I want, my kids know I'm happier now even though I only have them 50 percent of the time. That part sucks. But I missed so much of myself that got buried. Started dating again, hung out with old friends again, remembered I like rock climbing. Lost the identity of being married guy and gained the identity of being someone who actually knows what he wants. The adjustment period was brutal but I'm not gonna lie, I'm doing better than I was.
