I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart. -Alice Walker

a man i never met before but belong to the same email list, sent us that quote today. i thought it was fitting. i can honestly say that i am in a good place. i have been for awhile but i held on to the pain as long as i could. i figured if i still felt any tinge of pain, that i still had love. i would rather be in pain that to feel indifference to someone i once loved and cared for passionately. but i realized that even though my heart doesn't hurt, and i don't cry doesn't mean i don't have love for him. it just means that my heart is ready to be open again but it still capable of giving love at the same time.
