I always thought that the one year mark would be a depressing date for me, and that I wouldn't function very well for that entire week. Ain't gonna happen.
What have I learned from this last year of hell?
- I will not tolerate abuse from anyone.
- I am worth it, no matter what one person may say.
- There's definitely red flags that I'll notice when I start dating again, and avoid the people that I see those markers in.
- Being single doesn't mean you're alone, or that you're lonely.
- I can't depend on someone else to build my self esteem. I have to do that myself.
- I am intelligent, and not crazy, and I won't let anyone convince me otherwise.
- It's okay to cry occasionally (but I still have a thing: you don't cry in front of other people if you can help it).
- When you're on the verge of a mental breakdown, ask someone to come over and do something with you.
- Exercising is a great way to take your mind off life's troubles.
- I can set goals, and I can reach them.
Here's to the one year mark.
