for all the bad decisions and the loss and the pain and for everything that has caused me sorrow this past year. I have loved and lost and left pieces of my heart lying all around. But moping around, feeling sorry for myself is the easiest thing on earth to do. Ironic how easy, yet absolutely exhausting it is. So I learned from it. I learned to lean on myself, I learned to not be ashamed of who I am, I learned to let go of the bullshit and hang on to the belief that I can do this. I got this shit. I learned that I'm in control of my own life and who and what I will allow in it. All that has gone wrong this past year has not made me bitter or weak or ready to give up. It has made me stronger and wiser and more determined to carry on like I always have. I am Me. I will always be Me.

This is such a wonderful read. I love it when someone finds their way of returning to their True Being.
Your post reminds me of this quote:
"After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure you really are strong you really do have worth and you learn and you learn with every goodbye, you learn…" Veronica A, Shoffstall
