Healing doesn't always feel good, yesterday during my procedure I was uncomfortable but had to let the doctor perform his duty, and because I withstood I can smile again having been healed.
I'm glad I gave her the adequate time and space apart from me, because now being reunited with her again I'm able to discern what a healthy relationship truly is for us.
I can't rely solely on my own counsel for advice anymore because after reaching so many dead ends this year, I've now realized that I need professional therapy.
