I've done it.
I've broken from the old and I'm starting fresh *HERE*
I know it sounds silly, but doing this has really been...an accomplishment.
I had a dream...
a dream I could say the things I wanted to
a dream I could be something, somebody
and for some reason, being those things meant starting this.
It's also been a little scary.
I want a new identity or I want the identity that I've always identified with.
A.Love
It's my not-really-an-alias, alias.
A.Love is this ME that is who I am and who I want to be.
She's been this inner me since I was 14.
It's not connected with hordes of last names that aren't mine.
It's not glued to being someone else's creation.
It's just...me.
I thought that she deserved a place to be those things.
A place to be a real wife.
A space to unwind the tattered mom I can be.
A spot to yell my heart out and not fear.
A place to just breathe without judgment.
So I here I am.
Celebrating a little...doing a little dance...and dimming the anxiety down
because although it's small
it's a big dream unfolding.
This.
This little place is my big dream.
Silly, no doubt, but it's mine.
