very very annoying….but I would rather get these annoying emails….
i got another one, yesterday, that made me sad. the detective on my case contacted me……she’s worked on it for almost a year and i’m afraid they don’t have enought to convict the asshole. i need closure and i needed to hear from her. but i’m still sad at the possiblitiy my case, my experience will only be on paper. that this asshole will be able to continue doing those horrible things. that another girl, who doesn’t know, will get hurt. the christian side in me believes he needs help. the bruised side in me, still raw from the shock of reminders that pop up in my daily life, wants him caught and wants justice.
all i can count on right now, is my own healing. in the morning light, it’s easier to see i do have power and i am doing what’s best for myself now - loving mark, going to school, following my dreams.
i have to cling to this belief in myself. i have to believe i didn’t let this happen to me….sometimes it’s difficult to believe when i’m emotionally drained….when i don’t have my defenses up. like yesterday, when i was brain dead from my final.
