It's funny how we look back on a year's time. We reminisce about the heartache we went through, we look back on the tears we cried and the pain that we thought would never ease, much less disappear.
A year ago today, I would have been married. A year ago today, I would have said I do and spent the rest of my life with a man that I loved. A year ago today, I would have played out every little girl's dream. A year ago today...never happened...
So, what does become of the brokenhearted? I've learned that things happen for a reason. I learned that when tested, a person has more strength than they ever knew was possible. Ive learned to trust my heart more than my mind and never second guess first goodbyes. I have come to the conclusion that not all men are created equal and most definitely all men are not evil spawns of Satan.
So maybe a year ago I didn't get to live out a fairy tale. I believe that it was only because that wasn't my story to live. Maybe a year ago I didn't say I do, but for the rest of my life, I won't have to live with any regret that maybe I really didn't. I don't mind that a year has gone by without an explanation really. I'm thankful for each and every day that I spent growing up over this last 365 days. Because if nothing else, it's made me more aware of myself. It's made me a happier person, a better person.
I am everso thankful for those who have been there for me through thick and thin. I'm also thankful to the one who made me realize that it's alright to be in love again. I'm thankful for having the knowledge to know that I'm going to be alright.
Being brokenhearted for awhile is most definitely a place that everyone needs to visit. It's only through that phase of your life are you reminded why it's so wonderful to be happy. Sometimes people take for granted the simplicity of happiness.
