A light at the end of the tunnel...

These past few months have been utter hell. Never in my life did I think I would deal with a young death in the family, stress at work, and of course being dropped like a pound of bricks from my narc all within the same month. But guess what?
Today I had a beautiful moment. I was bike riding in a charity event for my 19-year-old cousin who passed away..and I felt such clarity. I looked out at the ocean, and realized how precious life was. It's so sad I let one person rob be of those peaceful moments for two years. I will fight it like a disease if I have to. I will recover. I will get my peaceful moments back, and I will get the healthy relationship I deserve. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Lets "wash that man right out of (our) hair."

the moments of clarity

Yes, life is beautiful. It's funny (funny strange, not funny ha ha) that this whole dreadful experience has opened my eyes to how absolutely beautiful the rest of the world is

I am so sorry for your

I am so sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing this post with us. It is inspiring when moments of CLARITY happen. You are so right. They have robbed us of enough and life is too short. Even after all of us here have been used/abused and thrown away....we are still striving to learn, heal, and find happiness. This group is filled with strong, resilient woman! Reminds me of that chumbawamba song...."I get knocked down, I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down" lol Your post came at a good time. It has been raining here all week and today there is sunshine. I am going to go and enjoy some of it!

The clear moments of our lifes...

It is hard to read over so many of us in pain that it is refreshing to hear when we have a CLEAR moment. The description of your surrounding helped take me there...the ocean, the breeze, the sunlight touching your skin and that moment of clarity...ahhh! Today I was contemplating starting running again, outdoors...you now convinced me that I will! Last time I ran outdoors was a little over 3 years and your post helped remind me that sunlight is a GOOD source of energy. Thanks for sharing and I'm sure that many of us that are feeling down recharge when we hear of someone doing well! Your post brought tears of joy...keep strong sweetheart!

It does prove that in the darkness there is some light. I know that taking a walk in nature is not going to insantly cure us of the narc but if we can all just see a second of beautie in the uglyness then its a start . one moment will become two and two will become three and then a whole day and then a whole week .... Im so sorry for youre loss , i lost such a good friend to cancer a few years ago he was just 19 too and .. well its the worst . Scoop x
