letting go

One theme that repeats itself in my life is learning from my past, and the best lessons are the unconscious ones, especially the unintended life experiences.

I never intended to fall in love and marry a dream man, but I did. I am so lucky that the magic of that relationship stays a good memory despite the mutual decision to part ways and divorce.

I never expected to find love again, least of all one so perfect that it humbles me. Nothing about dating C is by the rules, but the fact he also acknowledges our unique path reassures me time and time again.

What do all these life events taught me above all else? That there is a bigger force than me. I must respect fate and allow life to show me what is my destiny. By accepting my ignorance and giving up control, I find peace and fulfillment.

I still struggle to not judge others and myself, and the answer is to be more child-like. Having children may not be my calling right now, but I'm constantly surrounded by children and child-like souls reminding me of pure joy.

I'm truly grateful for life.
