Fangorn Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 I'm currently sat here, darkened room with tears streaming down face and yet, this is the strongest I have felt in a month. Today has been a particularly rough day for me, I was pulled back into the depths of despair but as I began to analyse the relationship I realised something. I put in the greatest amount of work into and made that relationship. I had this image in my head, a projection if you like, of who this girl was and what our relationship meant, how special it was and it seems I expended all the effort and energy into it and that kept it alive. I don't view this as a waste anymore, just a tough lesson and misdirected energy. If I could do that though, create this wonderful and loving relationship out of what was apparently nothing, think what I can do if I focus that energy on myself, think what YOU could do if you realise this person wasn't who you thought the were and redirect all of that energy into your life! Think of what YOU can achieve! My wounds are still fresh, but realising this potential I have within me is liberating, I can literally create whatever I want, do what ever I want and there is not a force upon this earth that can stop me! Let go of the past, live in the present and charge whole-heartedly into the future! Carpe Diem my friends. 4
JDPT Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 You have the inner strength to accomplish anything you set your mind to, always did, always will. I'm happy to see you have come to this realization and give yourself the strength you need to propel forward, learn from this experience and make healthier and wiser choices in the future. We have all been through the wringer and know how excruciating and paralyzing the pain can be, that's one of our many common denominators. However, we also share the same passion to move forward with our lives and leave the past where it belongs. Keep pushing forward we are all here for you. 3
ponchsox Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 My last relationship was bad and taught me a lot about myself. I will never settle for anyone's crap again. I can tolerate imperfections and faults, but not someone overstepping my boundaries. No relationship is worth that. I will never again mortgage my happiness! 4
headinthecloud Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 Exactly! You've got it. You have been putting other people ahead of you for likely all of your life. You are all that matters now! You can do great things. Happiness is a choice. Love yourself first, and the rest will fall into place. Keep up the great work! 1
