It's been quite the journey and the growing pains aren't over yet.
Things continue to progress with my new friend. It's hard not to be scared at times. Sometimes I want to rush this process... but taking it slow is good for me.
We are still just friends but we continue to build on our connection. Maybe I am completely wrong about our connection... but I'd like that I haven't lost my touch completely when it comes to these kind of things.
It's kinda crazy to feel a connection with someone OTHER than my x. It's kinda crazy that in some ways I want X as far as way from me as possible so my heart can be open to this new relationship.
One step at a time I guess.. but this thread is all about me getting back on the horse. I hope it's as easy as getting back on a bicycle.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
