Last night I couldn't sleep.I kept coming back here to DS because I was just tossing and turning.So in my infinite wisdom I decided it would be best for me to leave DS because I needed to move on in life.
I spent today going through old photos getting rid of ones I didn't want but actually keeping ones I did want even though they reminded me of the ex.
That may sound like not much,but to me it's a big deal.That means that I don't want to think of him but don't mind being reminded of him.In fact I could finally laugh smile and conjure up memories without crying or feeling bad or angry.
I did at one moment see a picture from Christmas with a few family members.In it my cousin seemed to be looking at him like "What an a$$."It made me laugh but feel a little like "Aw hell I should have seen things for what they were sooner."That feeling faded fast.Almost like it didn't happen.
Moral of the story....
I know I wouldn't be at this point if I didn't have the strength to cope and move ahead.Still,without you guys,I'm not sure I could be where I am now.It would have taken longer and I wouldn't have all the knowledge and wisdom I do now.
Call me foolish for thinking I am strong enough to turn my back to friends,stories,laughs,tears, and moments (just moments) that give me more strengh than I have alone.
I'm sticking around for a while.Hopefully I can be someone else's strength whether I know it or not as many of you have been for me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Glad you are staying!!!!!!!!!!
You bring so much wisdom to the table each and every day and I can't thank you enough for how you have helped me heal through my struggles.
YIPPEE!
I am kicking it around.
Glad you are here.
glad you are here.. I left too.. so I know what it feels like....
