moon Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I was just sitting here thinking that in the six months since my break up some good things have actually happened to me. 1. I have reconciled with a few family members and feel that I get along with everyone in my family, except my mom and I do have our "issues." I have a lot of trouble getting around this, but I have talked to her about it and hopefully we can both be grown up about it and form a better relationship. 2. I have found a new job. I looked for a long time for a job and had trouble finding one in the field I was looking for ( felt so cursed for a while). I now have a job in a different field but I like this one too. 3. I applied to go to school and will be starting in the fall in Europe....moving away from the US. 4. I have had a few interviews for a government job that I would like to do after my schooling ends. It was a job I would have never applied for if I'd been with my ex. 5. I took a test to work in a government field that will let me live abroad. I haven't found out if I've passed the test yet, but at least I took it! I always wanted to take this test. 6. I have reconnected with a few friends, who I lost touch with. 7. I have learned some new hobbies. 8. I got into therapy and realized that I am always trying to help other people and when the chips are down, those people aren't there for me (mostly men). 9. I have taken a long, hard look at myself and what type of career I want to get into and where I see my life going. 10. I have taken a lot of down time with family and feel a bit more refreshed. **I still go up and down with feelings of sadness about the break up, BUT things have gotten better. I try to remind myself of that.....although my ex did break up with me and hook up with a new woman and I have had very little contact with him since......but things in my life have actually progressed more I think than if I had been with him. So in retrospect I am getting a lot of blessings these days. Right after the break up I felt soooo cursed. Nothing went right for a long time. Man I must be healing. Praise the Lord.
Merin Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Yes... I've found that annoying ringing in My ears finally went away... Good for you Moon that you're feeling Mo Betta and stronger these days!
Nubemeister Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I've learned to view myself in a different way...try to change somethings My writing has developed and it's coming along:) I'ts good all of these things have happened to you. Awesome and have fun in Europe:)
dgiirl Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 1) I've learned that people all around me are extremely caring and considerate 2) I'm actually finding moments of peace and happiness where I dont force a smile, but a smile just appears naturally, I can really be in touch with the moment. 3) I've learned to do a lot of stuff on my own and nothing bad has happened yet. Learning to cook, pay bills, talk to strangers, get stuff I need, not be scared of talking to people (all part of my anxiety that immobilized me for years) 4) I'm remembering to look in the mirror, and noticing that I'm fairly pretty. Havent felt pretty in a really long time. 5) Finding that I've got really good qualities (smart, caring, honest, courage, strong) 6) That it's ok to be mad! My xhusband always tried suppressing my anger, and it made me have anxiety. He made me sick, and I dont have to be anymore! 1
UCFKevin Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 For dudes we save a s***LOAD of money when we're not having to pay for someone else for everything. Enjoy the whole bed to yourself. Fart freely. Etc.
Donut Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I've learned I'm a great person just the way I am - and if he can't see it, it's his loss.

hurtingandconfused Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I also applied for a government job, that if I still were with my ex I wouldn't have done so. And guess what after 9 months of testing....they hired me, I start training very very soon.
