Its been a LONG road. Ive shed sooo many tears, lost some friends, gained so much strength, read sooo many books, lived numb... its amazing the realm of emotions that goes through you when something traumatic happens. We owned a house together and it was like we got divorced. It tore me apart for sooo long. I met someone this past January who I feel is my soul mate. I cannot imagine a day w/o him. I don't love him in that childish, passionate, obsessive way that I loved my ex. I love him in a comfortable, calm, content way and know that he would never do to me what my ex did. He makes me feel safe and secure. He is reliable and comfortable yet still fun and passionate. I feel like such a lucky girl to have 2 great loves. One that burnt out but was filled with so much at one time, and another that can and will sustain a lifetime I truely believe.
