I had some "aha" moments last weekend with regards to why I'm still holding onto a relationship that ended 2 years ago. It hit me that I did some serious personal growth during that time. I had been attributing that growth to the relationship,...but really it was me! Brian didn't make me grow, he just stood beside me while I grew and I couldn't have had a more perfect companion. He was my first adult love and I'd change nothing. This was my way of traveling through that, if you will, one last time...a way to make sure the memories arrived at their proper destination and to prepare myself for what lies ahead. <br />Thank you for reading my story.Stephanie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117481136259148223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695512731756454294.post-28197534889572615802011-09-02T07:22:07.363-05:002011-09-02T07:22:07.363-05:00In these six story parts, you've shown us the ...In these six story parts, you've shown us the arc of recognizing that all is not well in our life, examining the patterns that no longer work for us, finding an anchor and then letting it define us, and finally letting go of dependence and accepting that we can define ourselves and accept the consequences of our own decisions. <br /><br />In other words, you've given us the full arc--the rainbow--of maturing.<br />What a compelling writer you are.
