brave

July 16th, 2013 — 2:41pm

When my life fell apart and I was going through my divorce, my message to myself was:

Be brave and take one step in front of the other even though you don’t know where you’re going. And even though you don’t know where you’re going, you’re going to be OK.
No matter what.

Somewhere in the last 6 months or so, I decided that I didn’t have to be brave anymore. That’s worked out really well for me… Being a single mom is really hard. Being divorced is really hard… on the finances. I’m at a stage in my life where I don’t have a lot of security. And there are still a lot of things beyond my control. I knew that this would be hard. Back when I was being brave, I prepared myself for this. I told myself that no matter what happened, I would figure it out and I would be OK.

It’s time to start believing that again. It’s time to stop stressing myself out to the point making myself sick. It’s time to trust, to know that I will be taken care of no matter what. It’s time to be brave again. I don’t really have any other choice.
