I read an old Chinese proverb once that went something like this..
You can not prevent the birds of sadness from passing over your head, but you can prevent them from making a nest in your hair.
A bit weird but I get it. I suppose you move a mountain one stone at a time. You sound as if you are strong willed person who gets down, yes your human, but bounces back with a bit of pep. Best wishes to you in your crusade!!
Lol I like that ... gets down, but bounces back with a bit of pep ... lol thanks ... I hope that’s true ... lol.
I have to say, I have always given the image of I don’t get down and I don’t get sad. Everyone around me thinks of me as this strong girl who can sometimes be a bitch ( it’s unfortunately that any girl who is successful is automatically a bitch... but that’s a story for another day ) ... I don’t let me guard down very often , and I give the image of having it all together , but I really rarely do. Sometimes I think I’m given too much credit. I do bounce back with a bit of pep .... and every once in a while I do get down and sad.....I was doing so well yesterday , until I can across a picture of the man I love with his new girl..... the girl that made it so easy for him to change his plans and not include me ... it is what it is .
The part that upsets me or makes me sad is that I know had we had the chance , had our circumstances been different , we would have spent a happy lifetime together.... but now I have to focus on having a happy lifetime without him... and maybe I’m better off without him..... better off focusing on my life now .... and who knows if things are meant to be ... maybe in 20 years when my kids are grown .... maybe we will cross paths again.... and if we don’t ... that’s ok too .
