It doesn’t surprise me that I would think of my wedding day even though I am not in that relationship anymore. It was a two decade relationship and will be a lasting impression on my soul and spirit.
It seems so long ago. Now far past that time, I am living a remarkable life of realism, tolerance, laughter, spontaneity, and love in other beautiful ways. The most amazing experience for me is how I have embraced my personal life. It is only mine and this is what makes it brilliant.
It is through my newest experiences that I am gaining back much of the dignity I lost by choices made by others without my consent or knowledge at times. These were very harsh events that forever impacted my very being.
Beautifully enough, I am and have been given great insights in the last couple of years especially to what was once a stale existence. This life may not always be ours, but in the long run when all the chips seem down, there is always a way to loving your life. It starts with you liking yourself just a little more each day. Meaning- you start doing for yourself when much was taken away. No one said this life would be easy.
I love this post Alesia!! I’m happy for you. Your words strike many chords within me after my recent divorce. It was a stale existence, I’m finding my life being single better and better each day. Much happier. God bless you!!

Hey thank you. Yes. Reflecting is good for the soul at the right time. So many times I am premature in my thinking. I am finally getting some of that figured out. Hugs coming back toward you.

Hi Patricia- as a fan of your writing as well as another writer ,Darlene, who also commented – I am extremely grateful for what your add to my life story. It is the fact people have changed through this with me. It has made a difference. I have had some close friends walk side by side and they have been instrumental to this path I am on now. They know who they are. I am upholding my privacy as much as I can at this point, but I hope I can find words to share more of my life. I want to be extra careful from now on. Blessings- Alesia
