A letter from Aug 21, 2022

Dear FutureMe, ` Today is a bad day. You're crying, but you feel numb- as if nothing else can hurt you anymore. Because right now, all you can think about is why did you let yourself last this long in a relationship where you are being treated as the bad one - the one who doesn't trust, the one who doesn't understand, or the one who never listens. Do you love him? Yeah, **** you do! You're a strong woman, yet you feel like you can't live without this man. You had the chance to start over, but you still chose to go down the crazy and difficult road. 6 years have passed and you're still there- wondering if things are going to change. Oh is wondering the right word? or should I say "hoping"? I hope now that you're reading this, things have already changed... Either both of you figured things out together and survived or you are done trying to prove yourself to someone who doesn't love you as much as you love him. You'll be okay.
