Here to Stay

Some Days

Some days are harder than others.

But I would rather go hungry at the end of the day than to ever be associated with the abusers of my past who took my money.

I don't want repayment.

I don't want amends.

I already got what I want.

Freedom.

And a new, better life.

Happiness with new friends.

A new community.

Open your heart wide, radiate with its beams and shine on to others, from the inside out."

Glorious is Now

One of my earliest and most favorite blog posts is titled "Glorious" which took the reader through the twists and turns of my abusive relationship that originally had started out as "glorious."  "Glorious" has always been the ironic title of my future little book I have wanted to write about the four years I endured. 

But it dawned on me driving home tonight, that Glorious is Now.  Glorious is not the Summer of 2001.  Glorious is Now.

My whole life story changed in a heartbeat, and I have known for months now that I no longer want to write about my past abusive relationship.  That story has been told.

Glorious is Now.

Glorious is how I feel each day when I am treated with kindness and respect.

Glorious is finally trusting another person with every word I speak.

Glorious is laughing and smiling every day.

Glorious is the simplicity and beauty of my world.

Glorious is in my gaze.

And in my "just slightly" nervous banter.

Glorious is knowing that everything will be alright.

Because it already is.

Glorious is every tear that trickles down my cheek because of the happiness I feel.

Glorious are my thoughts.

Glorious are my dreams.

Glorious is Now.
