epilogue
Undated Journal Entry
I almost didn't get on that plane, but something in me pulled me to her and wouldn't let me give up, no matter how bitter I was about our past.
I guess in the end, none of it really matters. Not the fighting, the jealousy, the violence. You can't ever change the past. You can't take back the terrible things you said or the mistakes you made. And if you carry it around with you, that's all you'll ever be. The person that said and did those things. But if you can leave that person behind, if you can forget about the time she stabbed you, or when you slept with her boyfriend, or how much you hate each other, maybe you can start new.
Some people never change, because it's not easy to walk away from things that hurt you or people that took advantage of you. But if you can; if you can find it in your heart to forgive what was done to you and allow yourself to be forgiven; if you can walk away from your pride? It's like going to sleep in a storm and waking up in the sun.
I'm not going to fool myself into thinking that we'll be together forever; that we're going to get married, have kids, and buy a house in the suburbs. But if all we get out of each other is a few months' worth of nice nights, that's a lot more than most people get.
