After a year of deep reflection and many life changes, I am in a good place. My traveling companion pointed out that we both have much to be grateful for, and that we should not waste our days being depressed or even hurt. She has a point; although I think I will always struggle with hard days, in general I need to lift my head more and be thankful for the many things I do have.
I know what it's like to feel empty, to know that something huge is missing from my life. I know what it is to search, seemingly in vain, for the right person. I no longer feel that I am missing something major, and I have finally connected with the person I was always meant to be with. I have every reason to be grateful, and in fact happy. I am determined not to waste such blessings.

I also know what that emptiness feels like. I've heard it said before that you have to love yourself before you can love another. But what I have learned is that it is not necessary for it to happen in that order. The one I love was the very one that taught me how to love myself. My search for both kinds of love was found simultaneously.
