Life goes on

For some odd reason, I felt compelled to read through all of the posts written since Pollyanna’s Perspective was created, including the presently private ones, and am now torn between doing a bit of an update regarding recent schtuff and commenting on how far I’ve come since this blog was started. But how do you do either without giving everything away? Decisions, decisions.

The truth is, I have come a long way, without any doubt, but it wasn’t easy and has come at quite the cost. Despite everything that occurred and all of the uncertainties along the way, I am extremely happy for the very close circle of friends who have stood by and offered encouragement when things seemed to be darkest. I’m even more thankful to those who continue to be there as life follows this path. And then there is the one who, in spite of our many ups and downs over the years, tolerates my frequent bouts of silence with humour and good-natured ribbing, but is always there to remind me I am never really alone on this journey.

Now on to the update…

With every beginning, eventually, there is an ending. This isn’t meant to be cold and callous, but simply a statement of fact regarding all things in life. And with every ending comes the choice of either healing or doing all you can to keep the wound open and raw… I chose to heal. There are many days I still wonder about what happened, and doubt I will ever know the answer. Regardless, there will never be any ill words spoken and all memories will be recalled only with fondness, because to do any less would be highly disrespectful to what once was. Maybe someday that most important aspect, friendship, will be found again, but who knows?
