As soon as you finaly realize that trying to live in a broken past is nothing but poisenous for yourself and that you are best off leaving that past behind, it gets much, much easier to face life's daily challenges.
You are right on the money with that. It takes time to adjust to a new life after having yours turned upside down. A person has to deal with things their own way and at their own pace.
I told a friend a little over a month ago that I felt they were in a situation that they should get out of. I didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel for them. But now, looking back I made a mistake. Maybe I don't see the light but they do. They are the ones who know when the time is right to move on to the next stage. If they are reading this, they will know who they are. I jumped to conclusions and snapped before thinking.
I have learned that the past is where it belongs...in the past. We can only focus on our lives day to day. At the moment I don't even think it is wise to think too far into the future because none of us know what is out there.
