Young & Divorced


::welp::

Divorce- a complete separation between two things

It's like joining a secret society. 

Some people bond over hobbies and similar interest. 
Others...
over a common life changing experience.

I chuckle with the reality that a lot of people I know don't even know I was married.
Like it was a great big secret...
I guess not as big a secret as the fact that I'm divorced. 
I'm 28 & Divorced 
a pill.
quite difficult to swallow.
BUT.
I finally did.

I let go of all the negative connotation attached to the experience. 
I let go of the bitter feeling it leaves in your heart 
I let go of the doubt of it possibly being a mistake 
I let go of thinking I did something wrong...

I let go.

& that's exactly what divorce really is. It's the complete separation between two things. 
It's deciding, "Hey, this isn't working, lets end it". 
(Just add a few dollar signs, court visits, lawyer consultations, & 100 arguments in between)

It's taking yet another leap of faith just like the day you decided to make this union.
Except this time.
you do so alone...
a bit battered & even more so unsure of whats to come. 
But you do so knowing so much more about yourself.
letting go of the badge of shame & carrying a new badge of knowledge...
you learn more about yourself than you ever thought you would. 

eventually you realize
this is exactly what you were suppose to do... & it was worth every hurdle it took to get there.

Not everyone gets the chance to start over.

I did.
