Val, we all feel what we feel. We all deal with these feelings. I expect to from time to time for the rest of my life. I also expect the frequency to diminish greatly as I heal and move on.

The opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is indifference. I believe this to be true. I find myself increasingly indifferent. The relationship I once had is gone. The person I loved in that relationship changed. I need to let her go, to leave her be to her own devices. She needs to heal. My continued involvement prevents her healing.

I need to love myself enough to grow, to give myself another chance at happiness. I deserve this.

So do you.
