I haven’t been on this app is a long time, yesterday was the first time I posted something in months. I used to post about getting pregnant. My husband and I were trying. Looking back now I don’t even know why we were when our marriage wasn’t surviving.

Over the course of the last few months I’ve done some reflecting and thinking. I’m glad my marriage didn’t work. I know I may catch criticism for saying that. Back when we first decided that I would have never even said that. But I am happier now.

I feel less stress. I feel like I am my own woman again. I’ve learnt how to separate myself from what was once my marriage.

I started to feel this empty and lonely feeling in September of last year. I brushed it off thinking it was nothing. I started to see a therapist. Let me tell you, that is a wonderful tool to have.

My divorce is short and simple and to the point. I’m thankful for that. I used to think to myself, who out there would want a 25 year old divorcée. But I began to realize I need not think that way. That doesn’t even matter. What matters is my happiness. Do I feel sad that my marriage didn’t work out? Yes! But I’m happy because I chose me and my happiness over stating with someone who didn’t truly appreciate the beauty in my imperfections.

So does it really get any easier? Yes it does, with time and healing and understanding, this process becomes easier.

Never settle for less than what you deserve. And as far as finding someone to accept me, I know I will someday. But until then I will keep doing me and be the best me I can be ♥️
