I was cleaning my bathroom the other day, and came across a letter, written early in my relationship with Big Cat. I knew I still had the letter, afterall, I spent months carrying it around in my pocket. It wasn’t, so much, a letter professing love, so much as it was a letter professing the connection we had/have. The place I chose to place it after moving in with my Scotsman was what was interesting. My workroom and office have plenty of reminders to me, of what I am and what I’m looking to become. However, it’s my bathroom, where I keep most of the stuff that lies closest to my heart. Below my mirror is the Universal Druid’s Prayer as well as a poem called I am Me. I keep those there because they are primary reminders of what I need to keep at my core and I can read them every day. I can see why I chose to keep Big Cat’s letter there, because it is a reminder, that at my core, I do have a necessary connection that hasn’t been severed. Even through the distance and through our decision to save our friendship, while sacrificing our relationship.

I know for some of the people I know, this might be an ill-timed topic, with all the postings I see on my friends page. But know this, even though we can feel utterly alone, at times, we can’t say we truly are alone when it’s only the result of not seeing where our resources are really located. Strength comes from within, and support can come from without. Look, and you will find both.

*hugs* to all my friends who are passing through a time of difficulty. I am here for you, whenever you need me. Even if it’s just to bitch at someone.
