KGirl - Movin' On and Out!

[sweetbabyred]

I've just been lurking on the site lately, but I wanted to respond to your comment about people being in a better place. First off, you've only been dealing with your sitch for a few months now. I know it seems like forever, but some of us had bd years ago.

So yes, I'm definitely better off than I was immediately after this all started. I finished grad school (started the summer of bd) and started running early last year. But I would give anything to go back to my life before all of this happened.

But one thing I've learned is that I can't control anyone else, so all I can do is the best I can with the sitch I'm in. I can keep reading and learning about relationships so that when I do get in one again I won't make same mistakes. My mantra has been Maya Angelou's quote "I did the best I knew how to do. But now that I know better, I do better."

It sounds like you're doing the same and really all you can do is spend the time as wisely as you can. I can guarantee that you are different than you were even if you you haven't noticed. We all have bad days, but I'm sure on the whole you're doing much better than you were a few months ago.
