Hiya L. 4 weeks ago right now since we last sat down to talk. I don't understand how the past week went by so fast when each individual day felt so long!! I'm still missing my experience of you, of "us", our time together, the "relationship". A little bit less than last week, but still a lot. I was thinking about it this morning, how much I appreciate your respecting my need to be 'out in the world on my own' or however you said it. I have to know that I got this. You know? I never would have been able to start learning that I do got this if I kept coming there, kept 'holding onto the shore', so to speak which kept me from moving forward, kept holding myself back by holding myself an emotional hostage to the relationship-as-I-had-built-it-up-in-my-head.

I hope you are taking good care of yourself, have gotten the much-deserved rest you needed and are in the new year a new and refreshed version of you. take care of you.

Love,
me
