When I was dealing with my divorce and my Dad's death, a close friend said to me "Right past pain is progress". That's a great quote. When you're going through the tough stuff it seems like you're never gonna feel better, but then one day you realize that it's starting to get better and then right on the other side of the pain is exactly what she said... progress. Because of those experiences, I'll probably never again feel the same way I felt before they happened. Because of my divorce, I learned to be alone in my house and completely comfortable, and surprisingly I actually enjoy some alone time. I call that progress. I was so afraid I'd never be able to trust anyone or that I'd feel rejected forever, but then I realized that he's just one person and he doesn't represent all mankind and I wasn't really rejected, more like released. I call that progress. Because of my Dad, I learned that life has time limits and there's not always tomorrow. If you need to fix relationships in your life, you need to address them before it's too late. I call that progress too. Those experiences were some of the most painful I hope I'll ever have to deal with, but in a way I'm thankful for them because I've grown so much in the past nine months. It's true... "Right past pain is progress".
Song of the day...
