Yesterday, I was texting my sister and explaining how well I was doing post-marriage, and how STUPID HAPPY I was. And I started to sob again. And I heard myself say quietly, “thank you.” And I suddenly realized my tears weren’t of sorrow or fear. They were tears of relief and gratitude.
My shoulders started to shake and I felt all the tension release from my muscles in my shoulders and back. And then the tears stopped and were replaced by this immense calm.
I’m so grateful to that scared woman who took the leap, trusting there was something better for her on the other side of marriage. I thank her for believing in herself.
