Purpose

"If you can't decide whether you want me or not, please set me free." I tearfully begged on 22, April 2006. My boyfriend of 7 years and I were at the Rio Grande in Bethesda sharing the Platos Gordos platter. A week later, I got my wish.

Writing about this and reliving the moment now is quite painful for me, but I need to do this to free myself, to release the pain of a breakup that devastated me and turned my world as I knew it then completely upside down. It was up to me to put the pieces of my life back together and rebuild a new world of my own.

8 months later and 8 days into the new year, I have found myself and made myself whole. How did I do this? It was a long and difficult process, and somehow I managed to draw the strength from within. Now, I want to share my experience with everyone who has ever suffered a broken heart.

Cheers to living life as it comes, and to taking it one day at a time.
