Yesterday, for a brief moment, I was able to poke at the scars of the past and not hurt.
The words and actions of friends reminded me that I shouldn't allow one person's skewed view of me to overwhelm my own self-worth, or my own knowledge of my values and who I am to those who know me.
Evidence of life around us continuing, and reminders that if we get too wrapped up in the past, we'll miss out on some great opportunities in the present.
Does it solve everything? No. A few hours later, after K had gone to sleep and my mind had a chance to wonder again, the pain and anger and mistrust returned. But, now I have that moment to hold on to. It's a step forward and away from the past. A step in the right direction.
