I can’t remember a day in my life on which I had felt as happy with my regular life as today. A day on which I do not wish myself anywhere else, on which I do not want to turn back time or turn it forward, on which I don’t want to wear something else or look different or feel different. I think I’ve finally managed to feel (not just reason about) my emotions and thoughts, see them spread out before me, look at them without trying to modify them so that they would put me into a more gentle light – no, I am ready to face myself and I can feel it in every pore. He and I reconnected, too – I think, finally, I see him, really see him, and feel his love for me. It feels endless. And my love for him couldn’t be stronger. I owe him a lot, but most I am extremely happy that he did not abandon me. He loves me. And I will make it up to him by being there for him, showing up for him, loving him and appreciating all that he is. I am happy.
