Happiness over history

She woke up different.

Done with trying to figure out who was with her, against her, or walking down the middle because they didn't have the guts to pick a side. She was done with anything that didn't bring her peace. She realized that opinions were a dime a dozen, validation was for parking, and loyalty isn't a word but a lifestyle. It as this day that her life changed. And not because of a man or a job but because she realized that life is WAY TOO SHORT to leave the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Growth means choosing happiness over history, and never looking back.

Like sis in the Gif said 'Reclaiming my time!'

This week I got the courage to let go of someone who I have known for about 8+ years now. Me and this person had HISTORY. We've been through alot of ups and downs. We stopped talking for awhile and then reconnected. When we came back into eachothers lives I was happy. I thought things would be different this time around. This past summer, I started to notice a few things. At first I wouldn't say anything because I thought well maybe I could be over thinking (overthinking is the WORST!) or I could be right but don't want to speak on it too soon because it could still be nothing. I felt as though this person being who they are I could trust them and take their word for what it is. As time went on, the connection was beginning to change and I didn't feel any love or appreciation from the relationship. Sometimes you ignore the signs because you love them. You have history with them. All of those things cloud your judgement. I've learned that I need to look past the clouds and see the light ahead. The light being happiness.

Happiness over history.

My goal is to always be happy. In this relationship I "thought" I was but it turns out I was happy with the history we had and not where we were currently. After thinking about it all I decide to end it. I had to choose my happiness.

Happiness is used in the context of mental or emotional states, including positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. It is also used in the context of life satisfaction, subjective well-being, flourishing and well-being.

In order for me to flourish in every area of my life I have to keep positive energy around me. I should be happy with every area of my life. I should have people in my life who contribute to my happiness. Survivors it's important for you to remember to never stay in a relationships/friendships because of the history. It's always nice to go down memory lane and think about all the memories but just think how does the future look? Will you really be happy? I hope you're able to have the same strength as I did to let go.

Just remember this...YOU GOT THIS!
