OT Just plain grateful
I am very grateful for the wonderful moments I have lived last weekend with family and friends and also recently, in general, this year.
I am very grateful for the great SR community.
I have met some men recently who are more similar to who I am. One who is deeply spiritual- an outstanding healer-, another one who is intellectual and enjoys all kinds of art (he inspired me to start blogging and I love it, he is a constant source of inspiration), another one who is a poet and a fencing expert. (We train a bit in the park ...)
None are addicts to any substance.
There has been a short romance with this last one, which won't last long because I am moving to the US soon. It has felt great since the beginning. I feel relaxed around him. It feels great to be listened to and to be valued. He makes me nervous sometimes too, but in a good way.
It is great to be with an equal, he has issues and addresses them...we laugh a lot.
Yesterday we were having a great time watching stars and laughing and having dinner and I realized this is how life and romance should be like. Healthier bonding, not toxic attachment... it has taken 31 years for me to start telling the difference
I am very grateful this is me nowadays and not the empty shadow of someone else -- a sad character I played while with XABF and many other abusive people before him. I am grateful I am giving new people a chance. I am giving ME a chance and it feels wonderful !!
