The Trouble With You

from Always Mending Hosted by Nat LaJune

Three years ago I was just starting date again after two years of therapy and recovering from abuse. I was terrified, but excited too. I had deconstructed my faith, unpacked everything that made me accept abuse, and built a strong foundation within my heart. I had no idea what was to come, but I knew I could handle it. I never imagined falling in love. I intended for it to be a fling, just something to get me “back in the saddle” as they say. I expected someone who would be good enough. I didn’t expect someone who would make me a better person. I didn’t expect to fall in love with myself too. If you like nursery rhymes, I wrote a book. I describe it as nursery rhymes for grown ups who still hope for love. 📕 lovemakeslifelisten.com This is a public episode.
