Dear Oprah,

Things haven't changed since last time I wrote here, but I guess I have.

Yes, I am still lonely.

Yes, my friends still just call me or come to me when they need something and yes, my daughter is still a huge pain in my ass, but it is like it doesn't matter.

It simply doesn't matter.

All the horrible things my daughter says to me and about me online, is just like white noise.

Sometimes it hurts because life could be so much different, but it isn't and I guess I just come to peace with myself about it.

No matter what I would like my life to be, it is what it is and if I can't say I am happy, at least I can say I am in peace.

I sleep and don't have nightmares.

I go to the gym, I work, I have my students, and my faith and suddenly it is like it is just what I need.

We always want what we can't have.

We think that we know what is best for us, but do we really?

Probably if we could just trust in God, or Divine Power and let things be, it will all come to a better end than if things were as we wished they were.

For the first time in a long, long time, I feel peace in my heart.
