Let's start on a light note.
I, for one, have always wanted a TV in the bedroom. This is mostly because I have never had one. TV was always a guilty pleasure growing up. I sneak in Oprah after school hours before my parents got home, when I should be doing homework. In college my roommate had a TV that I was not allowed to turn on, and thus too prideful to watch. Then when I had my own apartment during residency, paying double for cable was not an option.
Fast forward to my current house, a home of endless comfort and love. It has a HUGE bedroom complete with a sunroom and eight large winders. What it really needs is a TV. I promise to be cognizant of Oprah's wisdom, that the bedroom should be a sanctuary, a peaceful place to begin and end the day.
On a heavier note.
I can't talk about it in concrete words, suffice to say it is a dark shadow in my life. Friends or Foe, sometimes is a very very thin line. I am lucky to have people in my life around whom I let my guard down, but it seems I shouldn't. I am a wiser/stronger person today. But oh how horrible, and I wouldn't wish upon anyone. When I have a daughter one day, I will warn her about this. In the meantime, remember I am strong.
