Here we go...

((I wrote this as the first post to kind of introduce myself... and so if anyone actually reads this, they understand))

I could use this first post to talk about my life for the past year, but at this point it's not even worth it to talk about anymore. I was wronged in a way that no one ever should be. And we'll leave it at that. I want to talk about my process of healing, where I am today, where I'm going, etc. Some will be about my life in the past year, but to only show where I started.

One year ago, or rather 14 months ago, I very seriously contemplated ending myself. I was in a horrible place in my life. I couldn't see any reason for me to move forward, and my life had abruptly ended as I knew it. Someone else was in my place... what was the point of me?

At this point in the year last year, I was starting to get panicked because I had two tickets to Ireland, and I didn't want to go alone. Painful reminders were everywhere around me, and I really didn't need to shoot across a giant patch of water for more. Luckily, I had two awesome friends that said they were driving me to the airport, and that they were going to leave me so I had no choice but to go through security. Hell, I think that Kristin even texted me later just to verify I was sitting at the gate waiting for the plane.

I'm forever happy that I had those friends to force me to go through with the plane because not only would I have been wasting my ticket, but I wouldn't have gotten to meet two of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
