Dear Blogger

What did you do with all of the lovely, heartfelt comments on my last post? I hadn't even had time to personally respond to each one. (My apologies on Blogger's behalf for this mishap.)

Seriously, thank you so much to everyone for the comments that have helped me continue breathing each day. You all are so kind, and I value you as friends.

Broken

My heart got broken this past week.

I am still in the space in time where you're not sure what to think or how to feel.

To be truthful, and to quote so many special people in my life who are doing so much to pull me through this, the relationship had become unhealthy. It needed to end. Yes, I can admit that. But knowing that does not make it hurt any less. Nor does it make me the least bit thankful for the way it ended.

Unfortunately, I was too stubborn to walk away from it on my own, and something drastic had to happen.

It is so amazing to me that someone you have put your trust in completely for so many moments in your life is the person who ends up tearing you into a million little pieces.

So I just keep breathing, sharing time and thoughts and feelings with my wonderful friends. And I know that because I have opened that space in my heart, something amazing can fill it.
