Happiness is....

[ElizaBlue]

Monday morning around 9am. I cannot wait! My divorce will be final and I can move on with my life. Okay...I've already moved on with my life. And am soooo freaking happy, happier than I've been in months.

Ladies, to those of you who sought out this freedom I congratulate you!!!! To those of you who did not, keep your head up love will come your way again!

Wait. What? Didn't you just get married @ElizaBlue?

Sort of...back in 2012. I thought it was what I wanted but has time went on I just realized I wasn't happy with what I had. I was happy as a wife and as a mother...but the woman in me was not.

Now the woman in me is hella happy... I will always be a mother, but I just realized being a wife was something I don't have to have.

Thank you sweetie and I wish you the same.

Funny...a lot of people close to me think this is a time for mourning and just don't understand why I feel the way I do. He was a great guy...just not the one for me.

I hear you! Good for you then! I only wanted to get married when I was younger but as time went on, I learned that marriage (as well as motherhood) isn't for everyone and I fall in that category! Congrats!

I may be late cause I am not on the board that much. You use to share your love story right. I am sorry it didn't work out. Sounds like you are happy and moving forward.

One of the happiest moments in my life was when I went through my divorce...I felt like I was getting a fresh start on life.
Divorce isn't a horrible experience for everyone...enjoy your new life!

A divorced man once told me:

The only people who feel sad about someone's divorce are people who never spent years trying to make a bad marriage work.

I concur. Its like waking up from a nightmare. You feel relieved and free.

Great news Elizablue. Nothing like FREEDOM!!!! Bask in it.

I felt free the day I received my decree in the mail. Plus is was on my birthday, what an awesome gift.

Ladies thank you all so so much for the kind thoughts and encouragement. It means a lot to still be able to come here and share our situations and find heartfelt care.

So the Blue is back to the free world of dating and LOVING it. When you get to be where many of us are young or younger, financially, and spiritually, there's a level of independence that brings and it's hard to put all that aside and get on the same page with someone else.

I do believe love is for everyone and so is happiness, whether it's love for yourself, family or a significant other...it can all lead to happiness. But none of that has to lead to marriage...unless that's something you desire.

Honey yes!!!! I never say never but I can't see ever giving this up again for any man. I see why some folks prefer to stay single...you never have to feel like you're limited in what makes you happy. Let freedom ring!
