I am coming to a place where I know what I want for my life. Peace, encouragement, support, laughter and love. Anything that threatens that just has no place in my life. And it's up to me to protect my personal boundaries.

I am a lot less frustrated with H. I get that he is where he is. And that I am where I am. And those paths might be completely divergent.

My friends and family are the best. I get to cuddle babies tomorrow, walk strong the day after that, laugh at a comedy show towards the end of the week and dance at a concert in a few weeks. I have trips planned to Paris, Anaheim, Vero Beach, Atlanta and San Diego.

The move to my own, first apartment comes in just a few weeks and I am really happy that it is all mine. It will be really good to get out of the place that he and I shared, the place that still contains his stuff and mine.

In a few weeks, it will be one year since he left. And it's been a doozy of a year. But I am reaching that place where I am ready to move forward.
