And oh, how I did.... a major heartbreaking breakup + a major life-threatening health crisis, both in early days of 2016, shattered life as I knew it. And when you give yourself completely in love, give enough to become vulnerable... that heartache comes hard and sharp and deep. But, life is change, and loss, and growth. I lost myself, before he left, because nothing I was seemed to mean anything to him, so everything I was lost meaning, even to myself. I lost the girl who laughed easier, but I'm again starting to smile, ever more deeply. Dreams and goals have had to change, but I know in readjusting my sails I'll find a dazzlingly perfect new direction... #lovequotes #lostherself #findingyourself #chronicillnesses #spoonielife #momlife #singlemomlife #breakupquotes #breakingup #lifeisstrange #magicalgirl #creatingmagic #createyourself #discoveryoursmile #movingonwithmylife #lettinggo #buildinganewme #newyearstillweird #newyearnewyou (at The Paullin Place)
