Divorce

When I told people about the wedding, everyone said to me "marriage isn't a word, it's a sentence".

I guess I was released early for good behaviour.

Three years ago my life turned upside down. The person I loved didn't love me. The person I trusted couldn't be trusted.

I decided that I didn't deserve to be treated as badly as I had been.

I filed for divorce.

And then something wonderful happened.

I found myself again.

All of the things that I stopped doing for a "quiet life" became possible again. I bought a big tv, I started to play the guitar again, I meditate and took up yoga. I became the person I was before and the person i wanted to be.

It's been two years since the divorce and I can honestly say that I'm happy, at peace and loving who I am again.

So when people describe divorce in negative terms, I smile.

My divorce was my rebirth.
