So here I am...suddently single after a three year relationship with a man I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. I am now faced with doing what I probably should have been doing for the past three years, which is finding out what makes me happy. I know who I am, but what do I want? What is going to make ME happy. I've spent so much of my life giving more to other people than I have given to myself. My best friend sent me an e-mail today about a random thought she had about me. Her thought was this:
"Why not give yourself the devotion, care, and love? What I mean is, why not spend the time, energy, and thought to the relationship of yourself? You deserve as much or more of the love you have given everyone in your life and I feel that you are depriving the one person who matters most--you."
I've been thinking about this for a few days now, and I think that this is the perfect opportunity for me to really do some self-discovery. No dating (not that I'm anywhere near ready for anything like that), no physical intimacy, just me...living my life for myself and no one else, and doing some soul searching to figure out what I truly want along the way!
I've already set up two different volunteer opportunities that I think will be fun and worthwhile. I'll tell you about them after I try them out. Until then, wish me luck!
