New beginnings come in all shapes and sizes. Today not only heralds the start of a new year but also the potential for a whole new state of existence.

I have done all that I can to hold Tom and I together. I’ve tried my hardest to fix an impossible situation, and I’m at a loss as to what else I can do.

I often find myself asking the question, How did it all go so wrong? Everything was so right in the beginning, but then little by little I found fault in him and he in me, and everything that was once so beautiful between us became nothing more than an ugly mess.

Despite this, I don’t want this ending.

I desperately want us to work this out, but each day that goes by unchanged makes me lose faith in us just a little bit more.
