Jumping out the window
March 16th, 2007 § 10 comments
Waking up this morning was like waking up to the first day of school - full of the giddy, unknown excitement that's ahead.
So many things have happened in the last few weeks that I can't recall them all... all I know is that everything I knew that was stable and secure has disintegrated, and the things that were shaky and somewhat broken have become solidified and bonded like none before.
At first I was scared, sad and hurt, but it's as if I woke up from a bad dream and realized that there wasn't a need for it at all. I'd been so unhappy for so long that I had almost gotten used to being miserable, and for some stupid reason I kept holding on to it because that was all I had known. But now? I'm so happy and so excited about the future that I can barely keep still.
I was toasted by friends the other night "to change," and now I'm definitely ready to jump out the window.
. . . .
"... you know you'll change your life for any ordinary Joe,
and though your night will go on,
your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold ...
you don't know how long I've been
watching the lantern dim starved of oxygen
so give me your hand and let's jump out the window ..."
Yay. Congrats on looking forward and being happy about the prospects.
Welcome to the light! I knew you’d find it
Love you, honey. I’m so excited and happy for you. To bigger and better things!
Don’t hesitate to ask for help.
Absolutely bloody brilliant.
I am SOOO happy things are moving along. I can’t explain how happy I am for you, and I totally believe in my heart that you deserve so much more happiness than you have been given over the last few years.
Now you have your chance, and “no one” will be holding you back now!
I hope for nothing but the best for you Lori. You are a wonderful and beautiful young woman.
While the circumstances are not optimal, I’m so happy that you are in this place now and moving on. Be happy.
Yay! I’m so happy to see this post for you. Congratulations on jumping through that newly opened window.
This post makes me smile! Go ahead and jump. You’ve got lots of friends who are there to catch you.
