I am ok. One year post divorce.

 

“Love should make you feel both loved and free”. Glennon Doyle

It’s been one year. ONE YEAR. Since we signed the papers and made our divorce official. This has, by far, been the hardest few years of my life. I have cried, sobbed, hurt, laughed, loved and lived. 

I made a choice no one ever wants to make.

Divorce is not easy. It’s not a decision that one comes to easily. But sometimes, it is the ONLY decision. 

I do not pretend to have done everything right. I was not the perfect wife. I was not blameless. But I tried. In the end, it wasn’t enough. But I was, and still am, deserving of love. 

It has taken me years to realize this. And to know that, like Glennon says, love should make you feel both loved 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦. 

That is what I bring today.

Me. I am not perfect. I am trying every day to be the best version of me. To be a good and honest mother, friend, daughter, lover. But most of all, I am striving to be honest with myself. To stop betraying ME. And to know I am okay, exactly as I am.
