Rule #131 2/24/16

Be Graceful. Be Better - Not Bitter. 

Ending a relationship is a complicated process, one which both parties are entitled to their own choices and decisions. It is not for us to judge or try to make sense of someone else’s actions. It is not for us to linger onto the past in despair or grow bitter in all the ways we could have done things differently. All relationships are created for us to learn from them, to see the dynamics of ourselves when put into an intimate circumstance, to understand what it is we truly want from ourselves as a person. It is never just one persons fault, we always have the choice of staying or leaving. Taking responsibility for our self is the first step onto moving on, when we waste energy focusing on the emotional pain we draw less and less energy from actually seeing clearly what we can do to become a better person from it, so that we can journey more confidently into the next chapter of our lives, being grateful for the experience, knowing that we grew spiritually through love. ~Will "Story" Rivera
