Well today has been another long day at work. I am still there and will be for another hour or so, unfortunately. Am typing this in between waiting for various chemicals to fix my tissue

Things will just continue to improve if you stick to that philosophy.
When I was... 24 I think, I married my High School sweetheart. We had been together for nearly 10 years at that point. Within 6 months we had seperated; he had a 20 year old pregnant girlfriend. There were zillions of reasons it didn't work out, but that was the final straw.
Having been with him for so long and through things like my own parents' divorce, it was still to this day the most traumatic thing I've ever gone through in my life. I had NO idea who I was. It turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I was forced to figure life out, and it made me much stronger. There were still some MAJOR hurdles to overcome, and of course this is an EXTREMELY abridged version. But looking back, this was an absolutely pivotal point in my life.
And you just never know where things will go. Now, here I am, more than 3000 miles from everyone I'm related to, with no intention of going back. Had I lost my job 6 months ago, that wouldn't have been the case. I'd be writing this from Boston, if at all. Looking back, it took a LOT to get to where I am and to find the person that makes me SOOO happy, but I had to go through EVERYTHING to be the person I am today.
I can't even dream of being happier. You'll get there, too. :)
Thank you for that. I hope one day I can look back at what happened and not hurt quite so much. It is too soon for that just now though. At the moment I am just trying to enjoy being here and the thought of a future. It is good to know of your happiness and success. I am glad you have reached that point.
