Another Beautiful Day [I Am Grateful]

Today has been another beautiful day. I spent the majority of the afternoon with my brother, mother, and stepdad and we played a bunch of board games. I ate too many Thanksgiving leftovers and called my Dad to check-in. I feel so heart full. I've never used that term before, but it seems to really encapsulate the emotions I've been feeling since I've returned home.

Every day the hurt from the breakup fades a bit more and every day I feel like I'm returning a little more to myself. I didn't realize how much I appreciate the person that I am and how important it is that I don't let someone stifle my shine. My shine is beautiful and radiant. I love to spread happiness and care. I love to heal, to create, to love. For some reason, I felt like I couldn't do all of the things that I loved to do when I was with my ex. He had a poverty sort of outlook on "energy", and was always trying to save his energy instead of extending it to others or using it to achieve something. Being around that sort of individual can be draining, and I didn't realize it until I was outside of it.

I hope that I can remember just a smidgen of the amount of knowledge I gained from this past relationship. It also taught me to seek others who have the same goals and the same intentness (or energy) as me. I don't think it would be a good idea to date someone who doesn't match my energy again, no matter how interesting or attractive I find them to be.

I have been there many times and discovered my strength the same way. It never made sense to me why some people liked to remain in a negative or victim type space. So I would try and help them see the way and that was draining. Good luck on your journey, it sounds like you set a very good boundary with yourself and others.

@Contemplative Thank you so much. I'm definitely working hard at setting healthy boundaries these days.
