Accepting

There is a truth that I have put off accepting for months. Yesterday was my tipping point. I knew it was coming and I knew it would be so hard. It was, in fact, harder than I thought. But, I have accepted what I know to be true. I have done what I knew I had to do. I am sad. I am hurt and lonely. But, I am also strong. I am passionate about the things that I choose to care about. And, I am grateful for the cirlcle of people around me that love me, that truly love me and get me and accept me.
