While I recognise that it is normal to have disagreements with your partner, I also recognise that sometimes there are agreements that are damaging.
In my whole lifetime, I had just one. And it is one too much.
It had been years since yet up to this day, I feel the slightest hint of exhaustion when I am reminded of that night.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was surprised at how worked up I got when I learned something related to that argument a few days back. I can't believe how such a measly bit of information could scratch on a wound that has long healed--and healed quite nicely at that.
There is no feeling of anger, resentment or pain. But exhaustion.
I guess, giving and taking it all consumes. And I was reminded of that time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I remember that specific moment, I want to hug myself. And I can't help but appreciate what I have now--peace of mind, to begin with.
I am blessed.
The bitter is done with, now I can appreciate the sweet.

It is times like these that help us all grow. As you said...the bitter and the sweet.
