This is me giving in.

Adjusting to single life when you were in the process of adjusting to becoming a wife is a difficult process.

The greatest battle after a love lost is not between you and your ex, but between you and your own self. 

The only way to escape a toxic environment is to leave it.

We need to be continuously improving and learning, never stopping.

I know there are days you want to give up. There are days you look in the mirror and wonder why you are putting yourself through this.

You know what happens next, you know the names and the outline, but for some reason you are still looking. The roads you drive down all look the same, but are they? Has that building always been there? Was that house always that color? When did they close that place down?

You led me to the point of realization. The point where I had to come to terms with reality. This was not love, this was not anything. So I let you go. You tried to hold onto me for a little while. But I knew you felt the same way, which was nothing.

Read through your entire health insurance plan.

I have been told by multiple men I am a flight risk. They tell me I am bound to find them not good enough and leave them empty handed and heartbroken.

We want to be the woman that makes the bad guy a good guy. For a little while, it might seem like you did it. You made him change and he loves you dearly.

Working in a funeral home is not dark, sad, or creepy. In fact, this is probably one of the best and most pleasant places I have been to and here’s why.
