Oh, August...

So tomorrow is August 5th... And I already know it is going to be a bad day for me, just like July 15th and 19th. In four months, it will be one year since I finally broke free from you. It certainly doesn't feel like it. Especially with the way all the damage you cause lingers around to fuck me over day in and day out. Nevertheless, I am still moving on and up. I am in a happy, healthy relationship now with an amazing, beautiful girl who has stolen my heart. I still can't believe how patient she is with me and my issues. All the damage that you caused, it completely destroyed me in every sense of the word, but she still stays right by my side, supporting me, loving me, being patient with me, holding me up. Loving her is the greatest thing I have ever had the pleasure of doing. It's weird to think that a year ago tomorrow, I was having my one year anniversary with the worst thing to ever happen to me. I can't be the same. I'm not the same. Because I gave you everything, and I lost myself, but now, I am free... And my heart is safely in the hands of a truly beautiful soul. <3
