AudentesFortuna Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I come with an update and maybe hope for some! Maybe some of you remember me, I spent quite a bit of time here some months back. If you don't, maybe read my story here, it's not that long: My Story. I will cut to the chase, the message I want to give you all is that happiness is a choice. A choice you make every day by the choices that you make every day. I hope that makes some sense. That is what I have learned in the months since my wife left me for what believes to be greener pastures. My wife left me on May 31, 2011 and on April 26, 2012 my divorce was final. The house sold, assets were divided and we are just waiting on our tax refund and we will be done. There have been tears, laughs, smiles and pure terror and loneliness but through it all I have never thrived more in my life. I have lost weight, I have traveled so much, I have gotten closer to my friends and family, I have grown as a person, I have acquired tools to handle stress and co-dependency, I have learned to forgive, I found a beautiful place to live and I have learned that no matter what, with hard work, desire and dedication I will be ok. More than ok in fact. I can be happy. That does not mean all is rosy. Life is still hard some days. I still cry, I still have days when I ask what went wrong, but those are no longer part of norm but I fully understand that there will be more days like that in the future. That's ok, I can handle them. To everyone here going through the same, my message is this: always choose happiness. And yes, happiness is a choice. We make our own nightmares, we make our torture, we make our own happiness. Edited May 3, 2012 by AudentesFortuna 6
