I am so thankful this night, before any other night, that I have the good friends, the colleagues, the structures around me, the love that I send out and receive on a moment's notice, the academics that keep me going, the security and stability of my present situation, the respect I have earned for my hard work and creativity.
I need to have the courage to stand on my own again, though I never wanted to be this pendulum woman. A year is our mile marker and we've past it.
I don't want to live a lie anymore. I don't want to be Atlas with his world on my shoulders.
I am too much for this. But, then again, any woman is.
