Just some musings and getting stuff off my chest here
For those who went and finalized divorce, how were the 1-2 months leading up to the finalizing of everything? When was the peak of emotional torment and height of depression? I know I cannot and should not turn back in any way, everything that i am doing is for the best outcome for my wellbeing but when does the stress and bitterness finally wear off?
I feel like im putting so many things on my shoulder all at the same time but i also know the band aid must be ripped off. It feels like an accumulation of everything is collecting all at once, i know i will feel somewhat better when im at least surrounded by family in a new environment and everything is done, but what did you guys find worked best to get into a proper state of mind to get over the final hurdle? Physically and socially ive kept as busy as possible under the circumstances but my mental state seems to be all over the place.
Sorry if im all over the place, sometimes its just hard to get my thoughts down in a concise and cogent manner.
That being said i came across a relevant quote that struck me when thinking of the waywards and mlcs
Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will elude, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder
This quote really hit me because the year I found out she was having affairs, we went to a butterfly sanctuary in Aruba and i have a picture of her with a butterfly on her shoulder. It reminded me that she is chssing happiness when the happiness she is chasing is something that she had and could never replicate. Sometimes the life you have can give you all the happiness you desire if you chose to live in the moment and time
