And then it happened...

It seems contradictory, the involuntary smiling, followed by moments of blue which sometimes turn into uncontrollable crying. I'm breaking away from the old me and moving into something new, something different. I am living. It's terrifying and yet very exciting at the same time.

Did you know you did that for me? You held a mirror up and I saw who I was and who I am now through your eyes. It was like I was in hibernation and I am slowly but surely waking up. I am so thankful He sent you to me when He did. You have no idea how much it means to me, how much you mean to me. I know there were times when I didn't do right by you, when I didn't say what I wanted to say, didn't ask what I needed to. It hurt you, it hurt me, it stifled our friendship. It confused me and messed with my heart and my head. I got attached. I struggled. I didn't handle it well. It was a mess and it still has not fully recovered.

There was a moment today when I just started to ball. Everything inside of me just poured out. You don't understand my crying, you never did, but I was crying for you. I was crying for me. I was crying for things that are too much of a habit to be considered a pattern. I was crying because I was living in a place that didn't really exsist. I was crying because I did it again. I was crying because I finally let you go.
