This is such a beautiful post! I have yet to move overseas, so I'm not sure if I have anything relevant to say. But I do know that sometimes it is hard to remember the past. Since being with my own Bristol Boy, it's sometimes hard to remember who I was before and what life was like before, how I felt, etc. I wish I had a close lifelong friend like you have with Courtney. I did have one, from diapers all the way through our teenage years, but life changes and different paths take us in different directions. But I guess that's where my parents and my brother come in, they've known me my whole life and they know me inside and out. It's good to surround yourself with people you trust who can remind you of who you really are. I like the point you made about celebrities, it certainly seems to be true.

"Sometimes it's like I'm floating above myself, watching my life play out. " – beautiful words. So true. I feel that sometimes. I think the comments make the post that much better! Thank you for your thoughts. It is appreciated more than you know.

I just am reading your blog Sabrina! You're such a talented writer! Love it.
I am learning more and more about what you wrote everyday – "To be willing to create and manifest toward the future, we must be able to feel the strength, love, and support of the familiar." I don't think I ever truly had the familiar around (I moved to LA when I turned 18 and knew no one for six years of my life there). Now that I have Jock and have strong friendships elsewhere, I finally feel capable of creating an abundant life for myself. Thanks for your thought!

Thank you for being so honest with your comment. It's so refreshing to hear that I'm not the only one. It is definitely easy to keep running away from our past – hell, I've moved over 20 times in my life and know how easy it is to do that.
I think people enter our lives at just the right time for a reason.

Yeah. It's easy to get lost in the moment and the present, and at the same time, really important to do so…but sometimes we need that grounding. I think maybe a lot of celebrities get lost because they forget that very thing – they don't have people around who knew them when they weren't famous. Just a thought.

It is tough. Her leaving definitely hit me hard, but I'm trying to throw myself back into life. I have been reminiscing a lot the last couple of days since she left (including posting old photos on facebook!)

It's good to know that others know. That's the great thing about blogs – they let you know that you're not alone.
