I’m crying right now. But they’re happy tears.

I came home to a card from J in Canada, reminding me of just how loved I am. Then, as I was getting ready for bed, I see that G’s stuck a “Truths” poster on the ceiling above my bed:

• Sometimes your heart needs more time to accept what your mind already knows
• God is always at work
• This breaking of you will be the making of you
• You don’t owe anyone shit
• The voices of condemnation, shame and rejection can come at you, but they don’t have to reside in you
• You can trust yourself again
• Sometimes we must feel the pain to heal the pain
• You are loved and accepted
• You will connect with a soul better matched with yours
• You a fine ass woman who deserves the best

My heart is so full. So full of love that I haven’t been able to find for myself in such a long time, full from the generosity of people who care for and love me.

Friend – what a small word to describe the void they fill. There needs to be something bigger, more grandiose, trumpets and party poppers, a procession!

I know now that I’ll be okay.

Because how can I not, when I have friends as great as these?
