i was in a horribly abusive relationship when I began to see my first long term therapist. she was very encouraging that
i find my own voice and true self. unfortunately when I was able to admit to myself, her, and the world, that my true self
happened to be gay, she wasn’t quite able to handle it. all of that messiness aside though, i will forever be grateful to
her for helping me find myself and in turn get myself out of such an unhealthy relationship, too bad our relationship
had to be the next unhealthy one. but that is neither here nor there. anyway, one day she read me “the missing piece
meets the big o.” the moral of that book has kept with me. AND i’ve always loved “stopping by woods on a snowy
evening” by mr robert frost. somehow it just seemed fitting to me to use the last line of the last stanza with the missing
piece who has finally gotten to a place where he can roll on his own. I’m a true believer that no one ever “arrives”, that
life and death are a journey, and that I will always have room to grow and learn and opportunities to better myself. so
no matter how far i may have come, there truly are “many promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.”
