It makes it much easier to hear the thoughts that echo in my head day after day from another. The best encouragement that I can offer is that the only way to acceptance, is to FEEL, and it sounds like that is just what you are doing. Thank you so much for your honesty.

I know that feeling that you're talking about. My ex has replaced me (with a former close friend, I might add) and even though I have moved on with my own life, I still feel this strange, empty pang when I know that they are all together, the big happy family, and I am all alone. I also realize that it's about me, and learning acceptance, as you said. Take it easy on yourself...these things take time. There are no magic answers. *hugs* Hang in there.

Yep. Me too. I'm with you. Acute loneliness and not getting over someone and accepting reality (in my case, it is paul- aka the musician). As for the year of loving yourself passionately- I want to try that too, but am not ready. I'm so all over the map. How about I just passionately love you during your YOLMP. I'm on your sidelines cheering you on, and being inspired by you. xo. “I will never be satisfied, with myself or anyone else, until I do some honest, inner work.”
