In the moments where I'm feeling the greatest happiness. . .
- After a fabulous weekend with friends
- Noticing small details about the town where I live
- Sharing a meal with friends
- Accomplishing a whole lot all by myself
- Enjoying being able to see my bestie any time I want to
. . . the happiness is replaced with some pretty sudden sadness.
This part of my life is ending.
The sadness is followed by all sorts of anger and frustration.

I cannot believe he did this to me.
Happiness turns into anger and I begin to feel like a victim.
He did this to me.
I'm trying hard to remember to turn this around.
I'm trying really hard to teach myself to instead think,
His choice made me a better person, a stronger person.
His choice helped me realize how blessed I am. I have amazing friends who will support me and step up to do anything I need. Really. Anything.
His choice helped me remember that I can (and should) rely on my family. They are good people who love me no matter what.
His choice helped me remember that I can (and should) rely on my family. They are good people who love me no matter what.
His choice helped me remember that I am hilarious and a whole lot of fun to be around.
His choice helped me believe in myself enough to take advantage of an opportunity I'd turned down several times.
His choice helped me find the strength and direction I lost somewhere along the way.
Yay. He did all of that to me, too.

His choice made your friend fiercely fiercely angry on your behalf, but incredibly proud of the way you have chosen to rise above this situation
There is so much to love in this post - you are amazing. But honestly, my favorite part was "I am hilarious." ;) You are strong, independent, totally awesome person...you've done this all with grace and what lies ahead is going to be incredible. (And no I don't mean JUST because I plan on living down the street some day.) ;)
i love you. and i'm learning a lot from you.
i don't think there's anything else i can add that hasn't been said... you are amazing and strong and i'm sending you my love too!
