Screen shot. My Facebook timeline from about one year ago.
Not too long ago I caught myself telling someone, A year ago, I never would have guessed my life would turn out this way. And, a year from now I hope I can forget this part.
I'm sorry I said that. I don't want to forget this part.
This is the part where I got brave. The part where I started taking care of myself. The part where I realized the things that it never occurred to me I wanted.
And, the really hard truth is that I don't want to forget the part where I was married either.
No matter how much it hurts right now to think about being married, there are some things I want to remember about it.
Being folded into a big, safe hug after a difficult day. Enjoying time by myself as a special treat - little things like Thai take-out eaten on the couch while watching Gilmore Girls. Cooking and sharing Sunday breakfast. Cutting down a Christmas tree together. Reminiscing about shared moments and memories.
I don't want to forget those parts.
They are part of who I was, am, and will be.

This is the post that I've been patiently waiting for. Get it girl.
I am so sad for all the crap that has happened in the past year (and a little pissed too, which could be why I still want to key his truck when he leaves the garage door open) but I'm so proud of you for the way you have handled it.
Everyone has said you are amazing, so I will say you are AWESOME.
