Hi @mikesthoughts, I am sorry to read you are going through a hard time.
It would be truly amazing if I helped you with my being so open. <3 Please keep your head up!
See it is the past, I can't make it unhappen. I can choose how I deal with it though!
I don't dwell on bad things, they don't define me & we have a saying.... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. ;)
See, I refuse to let anyone take my happiness or mess up my life... fall down ( or fall back ), get up, shake it off ( the timeframe of this shakin can vary ), start over anew ... it's hardwired into me!
Much love & huggins to ya, D
P.S. NEVER GIVE UP!
