UNsoulmated: Recent Episodes
Calvin Maximilian
The nearly real-time journey of a man coming to acceptance of his soulmate leaving him to be unsoulmated.
The reason I started this podcast is because I am that man. I am currently going through this separation as we speak and I wanted to be able to share my experience as it is happening so that I am capturing the true emotions that I am going through as the journey unfolds. This allows for the emotions to be real and not how I may remember them. Whether this helps anyone else who may be in the same position of someone leaving them for another person, I don't know. But it helps me to be able to release this from my own mind. But if it does help or you know someone who could also benefit from this, please let them know about the podcast.
Thank you, everyone, for listening.
NOTE: On occasion there is language not suitable for work, especially in the early episodes. My apologies, I was much angrier in those episodes.

Day 238. Already having a not so hot day, I get an unexpected call from a debt collector regarding one of my ex's student loans. I have never been fond of the way debt collectors could be and this guy did nothing to change the negative view I have towards them.
Day 237. I continue to dip my toe into new waters with some low hanging fruit and some long view prospects. Also, someone from my past also suddenly reappears with no explanation and I'm curious what this could mean.
Day 236. I elaborate further on the peer who "waved" at me via Facebook and his history. In addition, I get a call from my ex for a serious talk about some things that my five-year old daughter told her.
Day 235. I get a Facebook "wave" today (the Facebook equivalent to a flirty wink) from someone I would not have expected to get a "wave" from, and it now adds a whole new dynamic I was not prepared for. So now I have to figure out a way to not only break the news gently to unwarranted advances from single women because I am not ready to date, I have to be prepared to break the same news to single men.
Day 234. There have been times in my life in which I would question why things could happen to me if there were a God who loved me. But then, so many instances in my life happen in ways that is hard to believe is simply coincidence, and these things always bring me back to my Faith.
Day 233. My first official booked gig is a success and I now have the bug for more bookings. At the same time, tonight's gig also put me in an awkward position that I believe I handled poorly and want to consider ways to be better at those kinds of situations in the future.
Day 232. There are opposing forces in the comedy community that I am a part of that wants the attention of the local comics: one that can offer more opportunities but less prominent ones, whereas the other offers fewer opportunities but the ones you get are high profile ones. My inner turmoil is to decide which one speaks to me more based on the character of the two organizers.
Day 231. I look back to the very moment my eyes were opened to my shortcomings when it came to seeing the broader world around me, and I owe that eye-opening moment to my Lost Soulmate. In addition, my new comedy bit on "Gay Marriage" is a hit.
Day 230. There's this guy that I went to high school with. Never really cared for him and I find his comments to often times be annoying and arrogant. Today he gives me some advice on dating and it's the worst advice I have ever heard so I put down my passive personality to ste the record straight with him.
Day 106. I have been getting a lot of compliments lately on my physical shape. It's amazing the kind of motivation you can conjure up when you are dealing with diabetes, divorce, and depression. Seriously, today I talk about the workout regimen I created for myself to get to where I am today.
