I had a discussion with one of my very best friends today. She called telling me about issues that her and her husband were having. Her husband has become really insecure with himself and in their relationship...we talked about all the things that were happening and how she felt about it. This has been going on for a while now and she’s just over it. The problem lies in having small children, a combined business and multiple joined properties...do you stay and do what people want you to be or leave and be who you want to be?
I talked with her about my experience with staying in a situation that everyone else was happy with and wanted me to stay in...because it looked like what everyone wanted it to be....but I found that the longer I stayed the further away from me I got....and by the time I couldn’t even look at that person in the mirror because I didn’t even know who she was and finally decided to change my life....a whole lot of time had passed ....and I wish I could have some of that time back. That when I realized that the relationship was not what it should be...I should have left.
I learned the hard way that we have 1 life to live....so live it happy. Your happy may not be the happy that someone else has in mind or imposes on you...make sure you live YOUR happy...and nobody else’s.
Until tomorrow...
