All it took was a little time…

You know how sometimes when you get trapped in your own mind, you think about things that you wish you could say to someone who you know you will probably never see again?

And you wish that you had the opportunity to say it to them?  Just to get it off your chest.  Just to let them know the truth about how you were really feeling?

And you know how sometimes, when you’re imagining this conversation in your head, you’ve thought about what they would say?  What you hope they would say?

And during this whole process, you can imagine how great it would feel if it all panned out that way?

Fortunately, for me, I’ve been able to take this conversation from the confines of my brain and execute it in real life.  I was afforded the opportunity to sit down and talk, to share my feelings, to explain what I’ve been carrying with me for quite some time now.

I’ve also been able to hear the things that I always hoped that I would hear, even if it is much later than when I had hoped to hear them.

And even though deep down, I didn’t need to hear them to know, I WANTED to hear them.  For confirmation.

And after waiting all this time to actually say what I wanted to say and hear what I wanted to hear, it feels exactly the way that I hoped it would.

Good.

Until next time…
