never

never in my wildest imagination did i ever dream i'd have a life like this.

but now, after all the crap, i am at peace. i hope that i am wiser for having come through - and out of - the awfulness of a dangerously destructive relationship. because of it, i have my awesome little boy. sometimes he was my only motivation for survival. i am grateful for how God responded when i was able to call out, and for the healing that has followed. it feels nice to be really alive again.

thank you, friends who loved me even when i was a heap of destruction.
