Well the one guarentee i've found so far in life is that it changes. Like the seasons, acquaintances come and go, family gets older, and hopefully friendships grow stronger. As the years end grows nearer i look at the things that have impacted my year, and it's been filled with unusual sadness this time around.
2009 ended horribly, last December a very close friend lost her stepson to suicide. The loss their family has dealt with has been almost unbearable for them at times. It's so hard to watch someone you love, deal with such devastating trauma, and even though he was not my child, he was a part of my family and it's impacted us all.
At that same time, my Daddy/Master of 6 years called it quits, He just couldn't do it anymore. There were many impacting factors, but non of them made any sense to me. It was the most traumatic time i've ever been through.
On top of the trauma we were all experiencing over the death of our friends son...the abandonment i felt was at times beyond my ability to accept. i did everything i could to change things...but it was all to no avail.
During this time i met Luc. Luc helped me through so much. He may never read this post...but i am so thankful for all He did to support me.
Since i've moved into my own home, i've talked to a few Doms that seemed promising, had a few dates, even a short lived relationship, but nothing has even come close to making me feel that "wow" that i've felt before. It's kind of disapointing...but it's also given me a way to measure whether or not something is going to be enough.
Very recently i've started talking to someone who makes me smile, even when i don't feel like it. i don't pin all of my hopes on Him, but giving Him the chances He seems deserving of feels right. Who knows what will happen...but i know that even when my logical side says ugh, not again...my heart says don't give up...
