I personally feel rather comforted for having read this. It is delightful to feel validated in a time of crisis and heartache. Thank you. Well said.

Leaving a relationship is a strange thing. When you've had another person by your side, at your back, holding out a hand - you rely on them. And losing them is like losing a limb. It's an empty ache that you wonder, why doesn't it hurt even more? But, always move forward. As you said, recollect, but don't forget to forge ahead again once you have reached an understanding of yourself. Two people do not make a whole. Two people are complimentary. Alone, they are not broken, not unwhole, not incomplete. One person can stand on his or her own and shout to the world - I am still alive. Whole. Able. Capable. I may be hurting now - but soon I will be strong. And FUCK YOU, I can take whatever you throw at me. Learning life's lessons are bearable when standing with another, but to pull through on your own through utter despairing uncertainty, that is an experience that will teach you that you are stronger than you ever believed possible. It is sadly, one that you never wanted to think about. No one wants to think of leaving - but the reality is, yes, you can live without. But - there are friends. There is family. You may stand on your own - but your friends and family won't let you stand on the mountain alone. Otherwise, the yetis might get you. *hugs* I swear - sushi next time. Beautiful piece there. Leaving a relationship is a strange thing.
When you’ve had another person by your side, at your back, holding out a hand – you rely on them. And losing them is like losing a limb. It’s an empty ache that you wonder, why doesn’t it hurt even more?

But, always move forward. As you said, recollect, but don’t forget to forge ahead again once you have reached an understanding of yourself.

Two people do not make a whole. Two people are complimentary. Alone, they are not broken, not unwhole, not incomplete. One person can stand on his or her own and shout to the world – I am still alive. Whole. Able. Capable. I may be hurting now – but soon I will be strong. And FUCK YOU, I can take whatever you throw at me.

Learning life’s lessons are bearable when standing with another, but to pull through on your own through utter despairing uncertainty, that is an experience that will teach you that you are stronger than you ever believed possible.

*hugs* I swear – sushi next time.
