Now that I am divorced

Embracing Self-Love and Self-Worth

Now that I am divorced and living independently, I am beginning to understand more about self-love and self-worth. In terms of self-love, I am learning to take care of my needs and not sacrifice personal well-being to please others. With my self-worth, I am learning that I am good enough and worthy to be loved.

Challenges During My Marriage and the Necessity of the Divorce 

When I was married, I did not know anything about self-love or self-worth. My ex-husband tried his best to break my soul. He was such a negative person towards me after he started cheating on me. He had a very cocky attitude, and he felt like he was the big shot that everyone wanted to be with him. The divorce was needed. I am on my own and I love myself more, I am very patient and kind with myself. I learned to say “No” to people. I used to be a people pleaser. I would drain myself empty trying to help others when I was not doing well myself.

Discovering Myself

I am learning more about who I am each day. I love my solitude and peace. No more arguing with anyone, except my kids.

The Role of Others in My Story

I understand that everyone has a role in my story. Some people are there to help, some are here to annoy, and some are there to dislike you for no reason. While many of these people are unavoidable, I remind myself that I am the main character in my story. So, I need to understand I am the creator of my world. I cannot control others, but I can control how I react to people and things.
