Serendipitous

I had a profound realization whilst combing my hair this morning.

Nathan and I got engaged on September 12th. This was also the birthday of my exe...The one who ripped my heart out. Shortly after he did so, I got three tattoos to remind me who I am and who I need to be. One was on my thumb, symbolizing strength and feminine power. One was on my forefinger, symbolizing beauty and grace. The last was on my left ring finger, a ring of thorns topped with a star, symbolizing hope. I got these about three years ago, on September 12th.

Nathan has given me more hope and love than anything. I love him more than I could ever express. If I could go back in time and look at myself back then, I bet you I wouldn't even recognize the bitter, broken person I was.

Serendipitous and astounding to recall.
It just goes to show you never can tell.
