where I am now
October 5, 2009
I am here, in today, and worked out and sang and made fabric-covered buttons. FABRIC-COVERED BUTTONS.
I was driving today, and I realized that it was the first time in a long time that I had said out loud “I miss him.”
Instead of being sad or disappointed that the thought crept up, I was excited that so much time had past, elated that the thought made me realize how proud I am of myself.
I may not have loved him outwardly, to my friends or family, but I showed him time and time again. The opportunity presented itself to be special to someone, to be my best self for myself and for someone else. AND I DID.
Reluctantly, but I did. I came around. I was hurt too. I didn’t go, I stayed, and I was me the whole time.
He may not have been forever, but I didn’t really need him to be. I need me to be me forever, and right now, I really like that person.

I am so happy you wrote this post!! I remember feeling like this when I broke up with my fiance. This was the point where the anger started to subside and I really started to move on. Good for you!! It won’t be long now!
(P.S. It also really helped to continuously tell myself “I rock.” or “…because I’m fabulous”. ha ha)

Thanks for liking it and thanks for breaking up with someone you almost married. Makes mine seem pitiful by comparison… although I am not sure how that makes you feel
only kidding

Ahh my dear, everything will not be okay or fine. And you may just lose your mind. But there are hundred of girls, in every part of the word that get through it, one day at a time, and come out SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.
