Still NC - God Bless the broken road

Great post Thornton, filling yourself up with your own esteem and self love is the greatest gift you can give yourself out of your sitch. It also replaces 99% of the pain you're going through.

I few months ago I was describing how I feel now to a woman in her early twenties, she's also very straightforward. I said, "I was a shell in my M, but I had a full heart, or so I thought. Now I am full everywhere except for a hole where my heart is, but that hole is slowly closing."

She took a long pause and said, "So you're a donut?"

Ha! Yes. Here's to you becoming your own donut Thornton. There is so much more to you than just who your partner is. Your on a journey to recover your soul from where ever it was in your M, and the feeling of knowing yourself, loving yourself, and realizing your worth is amazing. Keep at it, even on the days when the donut whole feels like it's your whole life.
