Haven't even finished the whole thing but felt I needed to comment.

Recovering from a breakup; that IS the damn word to use!

Shit, if you're not recovering, maybe you need to practice a little more introspection, sweetheart.

(And I was saying that to someone else, not you!)

Please stay firm in the knowledge that you are OK, regardless the feelings, and that you will continue to shine. Your words already told me/us/the world you are. Here's wishing you the peace to feel that.

Warm thoughts to you, sister.

Beautifully expressed as always Dearest Nat; I hope you’re doing okay my lovely friend…These days I live with the certain knowledge that in the end nothing stays the same for long, and ultimately everything passes…sending lots of loving thoughts your way😘😘😘

Wonderful post Dearith Pen Palith. I have much to tell you when there is time (all good and also exhausting). Give Louise lots of hugs from me too, even though we've not met I have a hunch we would get along just fine. Many hugs and smooches, plus the usual organic, estate grown chocolate by the wagonload,

Your Ancient-and-Weird, Yet-Formidable Pen Palith in Perthith. xoxoxoxoxo

p.s. Here is a brilliant quote apparantly from Namgyal which I have adopted for my own use:

"The enlightenment process is going on within you in spite of your feeble attempts to thwart it." -- Namgyal Rinpoche :)

Breakups suck!!! Real real bad, like a limb is being cut off. Sorry to hear you’re going through it. Give yourself every comfort.

Love your story ☕️

Wow. And now I've finished the full post... You commented about the realization one can get in recovery about the time one wasted.

I have never heard anyone else voice that in a 12 step or other type recovery meeting. I felt like I was broken to feel such things. Seems I'm not. With proud tears now: thank you.
