I am so glad I stayed
I could have never imagined 10+ years ago when I started this blog how my life would turn out. I am full of life, and love! I am surrounded by love and the most wonderful, interesting people! My relationships are so rich, and my inner world is finally full of something other than hatred, sadness, loss, pain. There was so much pain..and sometimes, there still is. Life continues to get better and better, better and better. I am so grateful. I am so, so, so grateful.
Hilariously, I'm seeing things I posted that I now have. Yes, young Aileen, you DO get a marriage more beautiful than your wedding (the bar was low though, that wedding sucked, but you did start therapy bc of it lol)!! You do get to be in love again. You actually fall and remain deeper than you knew possible. You sit with yourself and feel things. You're there for yourself in the way you always dreamed. You have compassion, you helped yourself grieve, and you continue to get better.
I am so proud of you. Of myself.
