re the weather
Mags.
And no love, what you said doesn't sound dramatic at all. I feel exactly the same way. Every day in the 24-hour thread I ask for 24 more hours of precious freedom. And I truly mean that. I have changed so much. I am ME now, for the first time since I was a child. My joie de vivre has been restored ~ life is magical again.
Sure, as
Itchy just said, there are rain clouds along with the beautiful white puffy clouds, but that's just fine with me. Every storm makes way for the beautiful sunshine. I need both. I need reality ~ whatever it brings. And being able to handle those storms still amazes me. For so many years I could not handle anything.
And
Itchy ~ thank you for your advice. I do need to give myself time to truly settle in. But although this is going to sound corny as, Columbus is already home to me. I do not belong here, and I never have. My whole life, I have been searching for the place I would feel comfortable, that would be home for me, and I have found that with Nick.
