A story about a turtle
This morning Kelly the little turtle poked her head out of her shell and looked around.
And then she pulled her head back inside her shell and went back to sleep for several hours, but that's not the point.
The point is, there's a world out there and it is terrible and wonderful and horrifying and beautiful all at the same time. And I know this. And even these setbacks have a silver lining. I'm learning who my friends are, who I can count on, who'd be better off pushed off a cliff... oh look, my sarcasm is intact.
I am living again, and I will love again and trust again and hopefully eventually have amazingly good sex. Yes, I am still very sad and hurt, and man, I still love him and pray that we could work things out, but I am prepared for the fact that that is probably not going to happen. But that doesn't change who I am.
Do I have regrets? Of course. But they don't change who I am. A little sadder, hopefully a little wiser, but still the Kellinator.

collective unconscious
"don't change who I am" "doesn't change who I am"
listen to yourself girl---you're 90% there to loving who you are (which clearly a lot of people who post in your journal do! quite a support system you have!)--keep going!
you know what else? recognizing who your friends are is the first symptom of wisdom.
Re: collective unconscious
You know, if you were on my friends list you could read the really good stuff.
And speaking of friends, yes, I have wonderful friends. And their support means the world to me.
