I’d have to say I approve of your choice in mates… but my opinion might be a bit biased. I fully agree that life has to have balance…light and dark, joy and sorrow…otherwise it becomes meaningless.

I couldn't figure out why the sun bothered to come up in the morning, after that. That scar defined my carpe diem outlook on life, but also, having had good relationships and bad ones, I knew what I was looking for when I met Dan ... I need shadow in my life, just like in a mountain blizzard whiteout, all light and no darkness at all, is frightening and disorienting. Best wishes on your journey and your becoming. - e. “The deeper sorrow carves you, the more joy your cup can hold”

I am glad you finally came. I agree, scars rarely define a person, but they definitely have had some effect on shaping who a person is, and how they became who they are. Healing is always an on-going process, something I have learned painfully, time and again. Dan Michelle-
