Seeing that sweet silver lining.
Two and a half years ago I was apparently in the same place I am now, the exception being that now I actually am not just saying so to make myself feel better. Making the decision to actually remove myself from the singles game and just focus on myself has been a very enlightening experience. You learn a lot about yourself when you're not thinking about how to attract other people.
When Mom died a year and a half ago, it felt like I was irreparably broken. I'm beginning to see the silver lining again, to realize that I'm not completely broken but only changed. Slowly but surely I am getting my footing in life. It is not easy to recover from losing your mother and best friend at age 20 (after having lost your father at 17), and I will never recover fully from that, but I can see that it is possible to still live and still accomplish some things.
I am so looking forward to Ireland. Six weeks in my dream country, working and learning and exploring with my partner in crime. It will be marvelous.
