harness your blame

canada

It feels strange to be feeling like something is lost today when so much was won yesterday.

Today i feel like the innocence i once had is completely gone. I've negotiated my way through many twists and turns in this life. But, this year, i have found a heart that was lost.

I found my heart. It is a sad and broken thing, but it is mine.

The innocence i lost, the thing i lost today? An idealistic dream that someone else could take care of my heart. Could take care of me. It is my heart and mine to take care of. I am the only one responsible for me. I can't always be doing what i feel is right for others at cost to me.

It all sounds so simple. Just like the little lessons i try and teach my kids. Nothing is simple.

The complete breakdown of a marriage is always two sided and it is a terrible thing. Good people make bad decisions. Good couples don't always make it. Don't always make it through.

Today is not a great day. The towel isn't thrown in yet, but like in a boxing match, both sides are holding it in the air, ready to let it drop.

You speak the truth. It isn't simple. But damn! Why does it have to be so complicated?

Nothing worth having ever comes easily.

I hope you get through this, marriage is very hard.

I'm so glad that you have found your heart, but am sorry it is in such a fragile situation.
