Hi family π€ Well... an ending occurred today. I was in a relationship and it ended today. But every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. This is HARD for me because I see the potential... but the reality is, it takes BOTH people. It has been a rough couple of weeks. But ultimately I'm extremely proud of the way I have conducted myself under intense circumstances day in and day out. And ultimately, I need a partner who doesn't bolt at the first feeling of fear. He said he still wants this but he's overwhelmed. I said I completely understand the overwhelm..it all depends on what you do with it.. and he is choosing to run away instead of dealing with it. I've also learned more about what works for me and what doesn't. Still processing of course but the facts are he left early this afternoon, Lilly came home a short time later, and I've worked for HOURS with her on school work, I've taught her, held her accountable gently but firmly, built her up, cooked dinner, cleaned up, and about to do bedtime. And he? Has..gone home and taken a nap.. Which that isn't bad in and of itself. But I have to give myself credit and recognize that my inner strength is to the point where I ultimately won't be happy with someone who isn't actually doing the work etc. That being said, I'm going to play positive videos all night so I don't get attacked in old programming.. And tomorrow is a NEW day. Love you guys!
