I know few of you have actually met and spent time with my friend (and ex), Scott. So I apologize for your lack of context here. However, after a good chat with him today, I just want to say “out loud” that, in spite of whatever “draaaama” our lives may have brought one another over the years, I feel terribly blessed to have someone in my life who knows me so well that explanations are unnecessary; who believes in me, supports me and fundamentally wishes me happiness; and with whom I’ve shared so much over the years that he can see, as few can, just how sweeping the changes in my life thus far have truly been.
I’ve always felt extremely honored that I’ve been able to keep as friends most of the people I’ve had relationships with in the past. Their continued presence in my life help keeps me grounded and in touch with — rather than trapped in — my past. Thank you.
