Thank you for sharing what you do- the beautifully mundane, raw, exhilarating and messy stuff.<br /><br />The pain you describe hits so close to home, I feel it.

I'm a new reader....a 'stranger...Hi there,<br /><br />I'm a new reader....a 'stranger' although it's funny to say that, I don't feel like a stranger after reading so much of your deeply personal and beautifully written blog. (I loved the sentiment you expressed in your 'letter to readers.' Thank you.)<br /><br />Although I'm a few years (....) older than you, I want you to know that I understand your words more than you can explain. I too have struggled with heartbreak in my 20s, one particular heartbreak that took me four years to power through. But sister, there is GOLD at the end of that rainstorm. I promise you. And I am SO MUCH BETTER off as a person for having gone through it. My life is not perfect now, but it's beautiful and I am more capable of dealing the everyday hurtles, and the big hurtles, because of the strength I gained during those painful years.<br /><br />Much love from a brand new but faithful reader,<br /><br />Katherine in MI<br /><br />Katherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-57149562051210678622012-11-10T20:36:10.276-08:002012-11-10T20:36:10.276-08:00hugs and sunshine :) hugs and sunshine :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-54433304819328490322012-11-10T18:06:10.270-08:002012-11-10T18:06:10.270-08:00As someone who ran away to Yellowstone and spent t...As someone who ran away to Yellowstone and spent time in Montana following my own split last year, I know the feeling of dreading the return to Washington. I spent months licking my wounds and thank goodness every day for the people that came into my life in those early dark days. They revived me more than they can ever possibly know. It sounds like you have a phenomenal net of support around you, but I'm sending you hugs from afar.Sarah W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-50226336556269655032012-11-10T07:14:25.496-08:002012-11-10T07:14:25.496-08:00Brittle is such a wonderful word.

And now that I've met you, you've exceeded any expectation I had! You are a feeler in person too.<br /><br />It's no surprise you have a cheering crowd of friends ready to scoop you up and take you away, tell you just-right jokes over beer, push you away from what doesn't feel good, go out of their way to give you a ride. <br /><br />You get what you give, sister. I am happy to be a part of that cycle. <br /><br />xoNicihttp://www.digthischick.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-58867567615854580252012-11-10T05:26:08.409-08:002012-11-10T05:26:08.409-08:00You even make breaking up sound fun...I'm not ...You even make breaking up sound fun...I'm not kidding.

It's like you've said, "here's a little thread, follow it, and you'll find my heart." and when you show your heart, with this simple, plain, vulnerable elegance, i can't help but stumble across my own. <br /><br />And I'm sure everyone else who's lucky enough to find themselves here feels something similar. I've spent a month trying to piece myself back together again, over something that should have taken days, or not even been a thought at all. But when you feel too much, when you draw a bath full of it, and then find this...it becomes beautiful. cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593256949311598537.post-45737455987869783172012-11-09T18:53:12.636-08:002012-11-09T18:53:12.636-08:00There is a big difference in life in being alone a...There is a big difference in life in being alone and being lonely. It took me a long time (and a laundry list of bad relationships) to realize that I could be alone without being lonely.
