I married him twice.
Both times
he promised to
love, honor, and cherish
for as long as we both shall live
and meant it-
both times..
The same man
two very different bodies
two very different places in time
but essentially-
the same man..
And I have no idea
why I did it either time.
I married him twice
the same man.
Both times
knowing, no amount of
“He’s a good man”
would ever become love
or bring me any closer
to loving myself…
Beautifully written.

Attached to a certain personality type. I think we can all relate to that Violet.

Love yourself first is an important lesson, I think!

It’s unfortunate we can’t see the forest for the trees.
