Live, laugh, and love!
I think we would definitely be a better people if we lived by these three words. The story of June, Have the Best Sex Ever, reminded me of when I took myself so seriously. Before I moved to Spain I had been in an eight yearlong relationship and had been unsatisfied with the relationship for the longest time. I felt that I was always giving too much in the relationship and was receiving little from his part; which left me unfulfilled. While in Spain, I was also the one who would call him and I would be angry with him for not calling me. However, I was reading a book at that time that really helped me reflect on myself and my relationship called ‘Money and the Laws of Attraction’ by Ester and Jerry Hicks. I realized that I was taking myself too seriously and was always being the judger of the relationship. So I decided to accept him for who he was and found that we were going different directions. That’s when I decided that it was best for each of us to go our own direction. This was a difficult decision to make because I was going to hurt his feelings, but when it was all set and done I told him that I wished him the best and that hopefully in the future we could become good friends. Fortunately, after three years neither of us holds resentments or anger and are now good friends. Now I'm enjoying life with a wonderful man who will soon be my husband!
congratulations and thanks so much for sharing. Often times the only way to move forward is to move through the thing that is holding us back. I'm glad that you were able to make that choice and not settle for less, for yourself and for your former boyfriend. Onward and upward, my friend.
