I have learned a lot in the past year. I had a bad relationship and stayed single for 8 months to just be me again. Along this jouney I found a great man that is everything i was wanting in a man. Now I had to re-adjust to life again and being with someone and not let my past relationship interfere with that. Not an easy task when you arent treated to well and was hurt a lot. So I had to learn to leave it behind and give the guy a chance maybe he would be different. So 6 months later we are still together and doing great. It is a wonderful feeling being with someone and knowing they want to be with you and want you a part of their lives. No control and trying to change the other just acceptance and love for who we are a beautiful thing. Been a very long time since I have felt that. It is amazing what you can find when you arent even looking. I have learned to let the little things go life is too short to get let them bother you. I have learned you must go through hell to truley apreciate the good in your life. I used to hate the fact that I wasted 5 years of my life with a man that wasnt for me. Now I see it as a great learning experience helped me figure out what I want in a man and what I am willing to deal with and what I cant. Learn to change that things you can and accept the things you can not.
