Reflection on January 11th

It's crazy to think about what could have been. Three years ago today, I decided to pursue a relationship with another woman for the first time. It was scary. I was nervous. I was embarrassed in a way. I was unsure. But, I took that risk and I started the beginning of a very rocky relationship.

For one, I didn't know her. I didn't know about her past or her plans in the future--things I normally find important. But, I was young and I didn't think about those things. From the beginning, she used intimidation and manipulation to draw me in. I suppose she never thought she could get me without it. But, what was just a fling turned into something bigger than I would have ever expected. I fell in love with her. And, it took me a long while to fall completely out of love.

We were together for almost a year and a half. Drama, love, drama, love, and more drama--that's what our love was. I am definitely glad I grew into a stronger and wiser woman after than experience. It took so much strength, strength I didn't think I had, to get out of that relationship.

And so, almost two years later, I am here. I am happy. I love myself. And I feel loved by others.
