Every pain gives a lesson and every lesson changes a person!
Change is inevitable. Every second of the day, nothing stays the same... everything changes. Life is continuing to evolve! Change is scary. It’s the unknown. We are all creatures of habit and familiarity brings security. I remember throughout the breakdown of my marriage, I tried for so long to hold onto it. Scared of the unknown. Scared of what will happen. Thinking that by holding on... it would save it. The day finally came where I realeased... acknowledged the pain I was carrying. Realised that I was a prisoner in my own life. Accepted that the future (divorce road) will serve even more painful lessons... yet I knew these lessons would be one of self discovery and personal growth!
A few weeks ago, someone very close to me said something that I found fascinating and offensive! A comment was made to me that I have changed as a person and I continue to cut people out of my life. A statement like this left me baffled! Yes, I have changed. Yes, I limit myself to people who are disrespectful. Yes, I have a thing called self worth. Yes, I value who I am and who I choose to spend my time with. The painful lessons I have endured throughout my marriage and divorce have shaped the wonderful, strong woman I am today! I embrace change. I embrace all lessons. I embrace life. I embrace growth. It’s called living!
