I ran across this quote today and just love it:
Never let anybody else dull your sparkle!
That speaks volumes to me. I feel like I totally lost myself in my relationship with ex. There was so much about me that he didn't like or wanted to change, from the hue of my skin to my desire not to drink/party myself into oblivion like he did multiple times a week. For that, I was labeled a boring stick-in-the-mud. All for being myself.
By the time we separated a year ago, I barely saw any of the old me left.
Let me tell you, that has definitely changed. I'm much more confident and sure of what I will and won't put up with in my life. And while I have no idea what the future holds for my life as a mom and more, I try to remember that no one does.
No one has the answers. But we have ourselves. And don't let anyone make you think you're not worthy of being exactly who you are.
Never let anybody else dull your sparkle!
