And I very much wish this one could be happier.
Corey and I aren't together anymore. Not engaged, not dating... he made some choices and threw that all away. I can give further information to those who care for it. But either way... it's over.
Knowing Corey has made me both very happy and very sad. I was able to love someone more deeply than I ever knew how to. This act brought with it though the misfortune of uprooting tears I never wanted to cry... and I have cried so much the past year that we were together.
There were happy times too, but I won't get into listing them. It's still my firm belief that Corey did, and possibly does still love me in some way. But it is not nearly the amount of love you should have in order to be engaged to someone. This makes me very sad, because I loved, and still love Corey very, very much... but I'll be okay. As sure as the tides ebb and flood, I'll get back to being me again. And things will be okay.
Bobbi, the receptionist at work gave me a card. That woman is wonderfully kind. She saw I was going through something tough and thought of me. And the card was so beautiful it made me cry, so I have to post it for everyone to read.
Here it is:
"You've had enough thorns...
You deserve some roses.
I can't believe all
you've been through lately.
It doesn't seem right
that one person should have
to deal with so much,
and I wouldn't blame you
for feeling sad,
frustrated or angry.
Who wouldn't in your place?
I wish there were
something I could say,
some incredibly
insightful piece of advice
I could give that would turn
everything around for you.
But all I cn do
is tell you how much
I'm thinking about you
and remind you
how much I care."
Continued on the inside of the card:
"My hope
is that you can
hang in there
until life starts
sending you what you
really deserve...
bouquet after bouquet
of beautiful roses."
-Cheryl Hawkinson
She also wrote,
"Hang in there" and signed it for me.
I wish this weren't happening to me... but all of the support I've been getting from everyone helps. I'm glad so many people care about me. I just wish you didn't have to show it because of something like this.
Alrighty... I have things I need to go do, because despite being heartbroken and wishing life had a giant remote control I could hit rewind and pause on... life doesn't work that way, and just keeps on going. And you have to go with it or get left behind. And I refuse to be left behind.
