Strings

There are always complications in life, I know there is no exception to that rule. I moved here to become a better person; to become the person that I know I can and should be. To be the one that I knew I couldn't be when I was with him.

I came here, to the place that I knew I could get a good start at becoming me again. Where I am accepted and loved without question, despite my proclivities and shortcomings. Despite the way I seem to need to make things complicated.

So here, with my friends and extended family, I've made a good home, a good start for myself. I've started to figure things out for myself, to realize what it is that I need and want. What it is that I don't need or want.

These close relationships are excellent... wonderful. I could not ask for better people in my life. Each of them has a string tied to my soul, helping me go this way or that way. Helping me divine the right path to take.

Sometimes, the strings pull taut in opposite directions.

Sometimes, they fray and break.

Sometimes, the few that fit around the column of my neck feel a little... tight.
