Can we just be here in this moment?

I haven’t often written specifically about love after divorce. I have moments that I’m brought to tears by it all. I’m deeply in love again, and my heart is growing stronger every day.

(*Don’t take the lyrics of the song too seriously, I just think it’s romantic 🥹.*)

I haven’t often written specifically about love after divorce. Today my cup is overflowing with gratitude. I have moments (quite often these days) that I’m brought to tears by it all. I’m deeply in love again. I moved in with my partner of 2.5 years recently. I’m safe in my relationships, and my heart is growing stronger every day.

I know it might sound dramatic, but sometimes I can’t believe I’m even alive. So often these past few years it’s felt like I’ll never gain more than I’ve lost, and I could not have been more wrong. It’s like I’m simultaneously freefalling while completing thousands of figure skater-like spins, and it’s both freeing and disorienting. This type of lyrical writing has been really cathartic for me and I wanted to share this one. I hope it gives you a glimpse into my heart right now. ❤️
