just because our exes used it as an excuse doesn't make it bad
and
i for one will never let my ex take faith and hope away from me.
they are mine
you could use the same excuses for not believing in commitment (they were committed to finding their own happiness) or dedication (they were dedicated to the idea that we had to get divorced)
I for one am tired of giving them that much power...
I have hope for a better future...maybe not one I had invisioned 5 years ago but one better than I even knew existed I have faith that it will happen...I will continue to do the work that I need to do and put my faith in God's hands to help me figure things out I am dedicated to finding myself and recognizing my own strengths I am committed to the idea that someone else does not define me.
we all come here at different points and we all have different ideas
there are people who 10 years later are still bitter over what was done to them
I could live my life in that place too angry that my childhood was taken away from me small and weak because of what happened to me later distrustful because my 1st husband beat me to a pulp depressed because my 2nd was a compulsive liar and sociapath
I could live my life afraid that I will make another mistake
or
I could choose to live my life in happiness hoping that I learned from past mistakes having faith that I am more than this situation
I am a person who doesn't see babysteps I dont' really care about them I am not a good dber
