I’ve now been single for 10 months, sober from alcohol (besides one night) for over a month, and back in the kitchen for over 2 months. There have been lots of ups and downs, a few really bad downs, and a few pretty good things happen. There’s still a few hurdles to get over but I’ve survived everything thus far, so I’m sure I’ll be just fine. I’m glad I’ve made it through and used it to rebuild myself and come out a stronger, more focused person who is more true to myself than ever. There’s always more work to be done, but like I said, I’ve survived everything else.
“Move on,” you hear, but to what howling emptiness?

Still trying to figure out who I am without you in my life.
I miss you more than words can express, my heart still belongs to you, and I miss you every time it beats.
I wish you knew how much I had and still do actually love the person you are underneath all this pain
I bet you wish my tongue woke you up this morning instead of your alarm.
