i love the way you write. i’ve been there before… lying to myself, trying to stay numb and not give into my feelings for fear that if i do, it would be like a floodgate that wouldn’t shut and i would be too vulnerable. so i put my game face on and hide it better than others. you said it all so eloquently.

Beautifully written…what you said about not finding fulfillment through other people is right…these are steps to wisdom…and inner strength…

and I agree with Sarah…you’ve just described a perfect night…

Hi! I just found your blog recently and have been making my way through it. You’re a really good writer. There have been a few things I have been able to relate to that I don’t think I could have said any better than you.

I think you’re right. Maybe the heart does get stronger, and not harder.

I like that.

It was a perfect night, Sarah. As for the list, keep an eye out. I’ll post it soon, I think. :)

Your posts always strike a chord with me. Now, more so than ever, as i massage my broken little heart after its recent battering!!!

I think to myself, you can get through this, like you did before and just wish and hope that i don’t ever have to experience this pain again, that next time it’ll be real, no more rehearsals, it’ll be the real deal and i’ll look back and be able to realise how stronger the heart batterings have made me. hoping, pleading.

Hey
I totally agree- we smile on the outside to teach the inside and then eventually we stop trying and it becomes real without us realizing it. Well, that’s what we hope for. And until then, there’s dark eyeliner and red lipstick for when you’re feeling down on a Saturday night.

Those nights in the torn leggings with the take-out for one and watching that movie you secretly wanted to see and then going to bed early–they are almost-perfect nights in my experience.

I want to see what would be on your list. ;)

This is so raw, so potent. I think so many of us can relate. Beautifully expressed.

Time heals all wounds… is what we’ve heard. And sadly, that is true. Hang in there, Hope. One day, one hour, one minute at a time. Sending strength and warm fuzzies your way.
