Booting it up

I sit here in bare feet pondering my life and the day. I am not sure what the plans are for today, but I am sure it will be a good day. I just can't stop my mind this morning, and not in a bad way, just exhausting. The further I get from the beginning of this month, the more clearly I see.
Honestly? I wouldnt wish what happened to me on anymore. At the same time, I am...glad something happened that forced me out the door. I dont think I would have ever taken that step myself, and there were things I've had to deal with over the last few years that, well, werent ok. Abuse comes in many forms. Enough said. Anyways...
I have been surprised at many things lately. Opened up and admitted some things to a loved one. Still feel vulnerable and raw over that, good for doing it, but a bit shaky.
Still, good you know?

One minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year at a time.

It is getting better, for a handful of reasons, I am no longer THERE so things arent in my face. I have more strength than I realized no matter how broken I feel. I have a good support system, and my good friend/housemate is an amazing person

as days pass and being in another place with no contact you are more prepared to look back.

@Jessicalynnt I think it was all for good.We always shy away from making a decision even when we know we should.It is not easy,but it will be better.

@Jessicalynnt Now that you have come to terms with it you can move on.Of course,the hurt and shock will be there.But never regret this choice you have made.Best of luck.

you have the truth of it. The thing is, when I made a promise to my x I had every intention of keeping it. I was killing myself trying to fix everything he had convinced me was MY fault in our relationship, to make us better. And I would have kept on keeping on, because I made a promise. He broke that, not me. I can now do my best to walk away and heal, knowing that I did what I could.

@silvermist exactly, Ive come to the conclusion that I need to just stop and keep stop beating myself up over this, what is done is done, and I will end up better for this, in the long run, that it is over and done and I can move on

This sounds like progress to me. I am glad that you can begin to talk about things.

I'm glad things are starting to look up for you. Yes, you're on shaky ground, but it will become stable in the long run.

I think I know what you mean. Sometimes opening ourselves can feel like that - uncomfortable yet still positive. It sounds like your life is taking a better direction and if so, I'm glad. That's a really cute kitten picture.

When you are removed from a situation and you look back you realize things weren't as good as you may have thought they were. What you may have thought was acceptable back then are not now. You deserve a better life and in time you will have that. Just keep your head up and keep moving forward. You are stronger then you think and each day you will get stronger and stronger.
