Today is such a momentous occasion that I simply had to post! It's been 2 years today that I have been officially single and I can truly say that this is the happiest and most content I have ever been in my entire life. Gone is the self-pity and loathing; it has been replaced with the knowledge that one can never truly be in a healthy and loving relationship with another until they have that relationship with themselves. I have found peace and serenity in this truth.
This evening I was talking with a mentor who gave me hope and inspiration when she shared her story of finding love. There seems to be 3 things required: time, patience, and getting to the place where one can allow themselves to be truly loved, just as they are. It all makes such clear and perfect sense now! I need to continue working to love myself before I can ever hope to find my fairy tale. And like everything else in my life, I will see this journey through and persevere until the task is complete!
