I think I'm beginning to understand why this year seems to be on fast forward; everything is finally coming to a long conclusion. If we're talking a story, I'm reaching the climax after years of rising action. I have no idea what will happen in the resolution, and undoubtedly a new story will begin after this story ends.
5 years ago, I entered a darkness I never expected or saw coming. I didn't know it hurt so much to watch someone you loved and trusted with your whole heart just walk away from you, and to be attacked by so many people that used to surround that person that didn't even know you. Within a year of no answers and no comfort, I came to believe I was a monster, and they were right.
Thank God (literally) that people entered my life who peeled back the darkness and let some light in. I remember at one point feeling so numb, that things would never change (I still really struggle with that feeling.) But my best friend showed me something to show me how numb I had become and that would make me desire to not be numb, a reason to feel again. I would do anything to protect those people, anything. I will do anything with God's strength.
