Moving forward can be difficult. Believe me, I know. The first thing I did was make a decision that I would be happy. Next I learned to love myself again. That was not easy. Then I kept my goals in mind taking each day as it comes (we should never stop doing this). We all stumble. We all are susceptible to ups and downs. But I just keep focus. The other thing that really helped was when I stopped thinking of the flawed person my ex was. Lord knows I have flaws. And those are the ones that concern me.
