I woke up to reality

Last night I had a dream that Brad, my ex-boyfriend, was breaking up with me all over again. It was a wretched feeling, and I remember feeling this overwhelming dread that I was going to have to go through it all again. The depression, the sadness, the lonliness, the emptiness, the deep dark dread of every day.

I woke up with the remnants of those feelings still lingering. And then I remembered where I was. I rememberd Mike and how happy he makes me and how we’re getting married in five months. And how I feel really happy with life right now.

And holy shit was I relieved!

About Shannon

I'm Doahleigh. Pronounced doe-uh-lee. I'm 29, I'm married to the Giraffe, and I'm a recent cat lover. Strike that. I love one cat, that's it. I don't have kids, and I still have no idea what I'm doing with my life. I'm often pretty witty and sarcastic though. So there's that.

    I hate having bad dreams – and as much as I feel relief when I wake up, it still leaves me a little uneasy for the rest of the morning. Glad that’s in the past for you!

    This post makes me so happy. I started really reading your blog just before you broke up with Brad, and I’m just so happy for how things have turned out for you. I wish everyone who was going through a hard time could read your blog and realize that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    It seems our definition of the term “nightmare” changes over time.
