My inner strength...

The problem I had while being with you was not allowing myself to continue to shine. I have always known that I am a strong woman who knows how to be happy, laugh and contribute to others happiness. But while I was in this relationship with you I felt like I was losing it. There was this sadness inside of me. I didn’t have enough energy to smile or react to others, I was just too passive and that passivity was killing me.

For the first time since I left you five weeks ago, I feel like I have actually made decisions that are good for me. It took me a few weeks to find the strength and courage, but once I made that leap, I knew I could never go back. Now, looking back, finding my strength helped me to find balance in my life, and helped everyone else around me. I am strong, at last, because I am almost rid of you.
