There is a time and place for everything.
Everything happens for a reason.
These are things that I say so often to my children. They don't fully understand the concept of the meanings behind the sayings, but I do. I try my hardest to teach them to do things by thinking ahead of the consequences, the rewards, the reactions others may have and so on, and as with most children... they don't. They do first and ask questions later.
I try to think of what my actions or words would do to someone or how they will feel based on my actions or words. As much as I know I can't please everyone, and at some point someone will get hurt.. I still try. I have made decisions in the past months that have hurt a few friends of mine. For this, I am deeply sorry. One person said my words hurt him so bad, that he now never wants to speak to me. I know in my heart if I had done things differently, he wouldn't be so mad. I truly hate losing a friend.
I know that I can't hold back things sometimes, and that I know whats best for me and my children. My relationship didn't last for various reasons. No one is to blame entirely. We were both at fault, but whenever any relationship ends, there is usually some level of hurt involved.
Things happen for a reason. When a relationship ends.. be it a friendship or love... it ends for a reason. Some good, some not so good. No matter - it happened for a reason. It could happen to help build up a weakened state, mend a broken heart, open the door to another relationship that could be the one that lasts forever. Who knows really. We just need to know its for a reason and that one day... that reason will shine through and all will be well. It will take time. It will take lots of tears, sweat, stress, friendship, worries, and more, but it will come through.
There is life on the otherside of the darkness of a broken heart. There is also a light shining brightly to help guide you. You just have to look for it, pay attention to it.. you have to know in your heart that this is the right road to be on. This is where you belong. You may think it many times, and you may believe it many times, and one day, you will just KNOW that this is right. Even if it doesn't last forever, what is right for you at the time, jump on it... be happy... experience the joys and wonders of being in love and being happy and content with yourself, your love, and most importantly.. YOUR LIFE!!
With Much Love To All...
