True Happiness

You are in a great space in life and everything finally makes sense, and out of nowhere your past comes running back. If you've been following me on my journey you have read that my life hasn't been a walk in the park and that I am finally living the life I deserve. Well, it's almost like your exes get the memo and can't wait to come and fuck things up. What? She's happy? And at peace? We must stop her!!!

I am finally in a space where I can recognize this as a problem. 

People not just exes hate to see you move forward especially without them. It reminds them of how stuck they are, and how much you have grown and left them behind.  How dare you get your life together? How dare you not put up with my shit anymore? How dare you?

My take on relationships come from a healthy space now. I am no longer being self-sacrificing. If it's not mutual then I'm moving on. I have had friends who claim they had my best interest. The relationships were just unhealthy. I am not that girl who will allow you to burn me more than once just so I can call you my friend for life. There are too many people out here to deal with that.

One thing that I have learned these past 10 years is how to be alone. I have dealt with the toughest battles alone. We are human and craving relationships is normal. What isn't normal is putting up with any and everything just so you won't be alone. You will find that your most peaceful moments will come from being alone.

This photo represents me coming into my own. I use to be afraid to travel alone. I had my first layover alone. I toured Boston alone. You see. People can hold you back from life and experiences. You will have to be willing to go and do things alone. Until you are comfortable being alone in your own company. You will never experience true happiness.

Don't be afraid to do things alone.
