Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”

Crossroads.

I’m at this juncture in life where I know who I am, I know who I want to be and I know where I am going. I will not settle for anything less than exactly what I deserve.

The only downside to that, is that the process comes with a lot of growing pains. And it almost becomes as if you can physically feel the growing taking place. Like a flower, breaking through the soil to bloom.

I worry

that I’ve been on my own for so long that I won’t even know how to truly share my life and give myself to someone in more than just a physical sense anymore.

I always wondered how I'd feel when the day came when I'd see him again. Today, it came. I could feel eyes gazing at me from the other side of a register. You know that tingle you get when you know someone is looking your way in a crowded place? I always get that feeling. That sense. I look up and almost meet his gaze, but he turns away quickly. It took me about 5 whole seconds for it to register from my brain, to my heart, then back to my brain, that it was him. The man I used to be so desperately attached to. The moment I realize, I actually smile. Memories flooding my head faster than the speed of sound. My heart pumping faster. I focus back on my toddler, who I'm telling to pick out a snack from the grab & go area before the registers, then we join the queue. One other customer in between myself and a man I spent almost an entire decade in love with and bound to; a man who five years ago severed every form of contact with me to be with someone else.

I always wondered how I'd feel when the day came when I'd see him again: it came. Now it is over. And I may be the same woman I was yesterday, but I'll be an even stronger woman tomorrow.
