I would like to thank DS community. Today, I was able to complete my goal. When I joined this site I was lost and pretty much trying hard to get over my 7 year relationship. I read a lot of discussions and realized a lot of things. From the time I joined, after two weeks, I finally had the strength to cut communication with my ex, I never though I could do it but the anger helped a lot. After going through the anger, I was able to accept things and move on smoothly. I met a lot of guys along the way, some became good friends and some made me understand more about how men think and I learned a lot from them. My life is completely different now compared a year ago. I quit my previous job and worked at home as a consultant ( which has a better professional title and privileges). I was able to focus on having balance in my life and was able to have a lot of time to think where I want to be. In short, I was able to recenter my life to me, which I felt I lost in my previous relationship. I have no intentions of rebuilding friendship with my ex since we are oceans apart and I owe it to myself to completely walk away from those memories. There were good ones but I know there'll be better ones to create with someone else. Right now I know it in my heart that I wont be able to commit to any serious relationships--and I am happy about that fact that I am not going to fall inlove with the idea of falling inlove. I socialize, meet people, go out on dates but my biggest focus right now is creating this new business ventures. I invested my money to some consumer product business and do some online work as well. I can work from home and sometimes go to the office to check on things. I feel an amazing satisfaction knowing I have this balance in my life without depending on someone else to balance it for me. I am so happy that I was able to complete my goal without pressuring myself not to think of my ex anymore. Time did help and refocusing inwards rather than external happiness did count a lot.

Thank you everyone and I'm wishing you all the best. I am happy to be a part of this community.

Best Regards,
Leah
