We're all just doing the best we can.

"I ran as hard as I could and still ended up here but it's alright." - Indigo Girls

I quote from the Indigo Girls so liberally I probably owe them some money. But they speak to me. They speak to my hurt, my growth, my desires, my strivings.

I have quoted this line to myself a thousand times. I've tried as hard as I could and still I ended up in this painful place - but its alright. I'll get out. I'll survive. I'm bigger than the things that happen to me. I have a life that is worth something. I am worth loving. You don't treasure me - that's fine. I'll treasure me. I am worth it. I am strong. Much stronger than you think. Just because I show weakness does not mean I am weak. Don't mistake my heart and caring for weakness. You have no idea what I can do. What I can endure. You have no idea.

I am stronger than you will ever know.

Take care, dear reader. I'm fine.
