there is a definite comfort that sinks in when the pains finally end. a knowing that all of the pain was for something, that it is all for learning purposes, and that i now have new tools with which to work in the world. it's like wearing favorite jeans, or a soft old sweater that makes everything feel better. it's like crawling into bed after a really good but really long day, and that wonderful release of tension as relaxation takes hold.
the best part is that i get to be reminded that i am human, and that part of my experience as a human includes this feeling, and not only the drama i had grown accustomed to creating for myself. i am far from perfect. i don't want to be perfect. but i love the feeling of really appreciating myself, and acknowledging for myself how far i have come and just what i am made of.
