Wading Through Stormy Waters

I've been searching for weeks now for peace.  For comfort.  For sense in the senseless.  Unfortunately, I'm farther, today, from finding those things than I was a week ago.  

'They' say that things will get worse before they get better.  I'm guessing that I'm just now approaching the edge of 'worse'.  One thing is for sure, though, I will refrain from saying that things 'can't get much worse'.  I've proven myself wrong several times as far as that goes.

How did I get here today?  That's what I'm trying to figure out.  Where did it all go wrong?  I'm not sure.  I just know that somewhere along the way, things became a nightmare that I could have never imagined... That I'm still trying to fathom, even while living it.

How I got here started less than 10 years ago.  With a young, vibrant woman who wanted it all... the fairytale that I grew up dreaming about.  And, honestly, I had it all, except Prince Charming...  But, I stumbled upon a prince charming... fraud, that is. 

It took the better part of a decade, but eventually, his charms began to fade.  And, now I'm here wading through stormy waters.  Hoping that the current doesn't carry me away from the dreams I still have.  The dreams I still want.

This is my journey.
