Months later, when I least expected it, hope returned.
I met Sam, a kind, steady man who listens without judgment, shows up without being asked, and brings a sense of calm I never imagined possible. We are beginning to envision a future together—a life built on communication, mutual care, and genuine presence.
Looking back, I don’t regret my years with Zack – they shaped the person I am. But choosing myself, choosing growth, choosing a new beginning—that was the decision that saved me. Sometimes, letting go of the life you’ve always known is the first step toward the life you were meant to live.
