Now, the real work begins...Part III

[Sparkls]

A very dear friend's daughter is going through this with her baby daddy. (she's very young, 19 I think. He left her for some OW and is living with OW while she has to raise this beautiful child alone)

She posted this on fb today.
...That's not to say that I won't remember the promises you made and want to scream at myself for ever believing you. But the difference is, I recognize the pain in those memories and I set them down and walk away. Because I'm done carrying them with me, and im so done giving you that power over me. And I know you'll never read this, but I'll read this on those nights when I feel like everything is starting to fall apart, again and again and again. I'll read this and remind myself of the promise I'm making at this very moment, to look forward and to stop letting your memory dictate my happiness. Someone wise once said "suddenly you'll just know, it's time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings." Well I'm trusting that this was just once short chapter of my book, and this is me turning the page....
Onto the next.
