What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive...
Why is it that the hardest person to be honest with is ourselves? It seems to me that I have spent an awful lot of time convincing myself that everything was alright, when really it wasn't. And in order to do that I told myself some real whoppers!
Like: It will get better when...and then when came and when went and it wasn't better
Or: This is how things are supposed to be...I don't really think we are supposed to be unhappy.
And my personal favorite: You aren't trying hard enough...Is happiness supposed to be hard?
The TRUTH (as I understand it as this exact moment in my life):
Only you can make yourself happy and if you are looking for your happiness in someone else and what they may or may not be doing you aren't going to find it.
What makes you happy changes over time...what made you giddy at 19 is probably not the same thing that makes you giddy at 27.
You are a strong and courageous woman and you do not want to wake up one day and realize that you were to scared to make the changes that led to happiness. (Thank you my NBO friend!)
And finally you deserve to be the best you you can be!
