I Am Learning…
March 4, 2008
That I don’t have to hate him to leave him.
That I shouldn’t hate myself to love other people.
That there might not ever be another person or – heaven help me – the “right” person whether or not I stay and no matter how much I don’t hate myself.
That – essentially – a life without this sort of love, a life of one, is something I must simply accept as a possibility in order to take whatever my next steps will be honestly and with dignity.
That I write poorly when I am hedging.
