It's in those quiet little towns, at the edge of the world, that you will find the salt of the earth people who make you feel right at home.

Are you swimming upstream, in notions of blue? Do you feel like you're sinking? Are you sick of the rain, after all you've been through? Well I know what you're thinking. When you can't take it, you can make it. Sometime soon I know you will see. 'Cause when you're in your darkest hour and all of the light just fades away and when you're like a single flower, whose colors have turned to shades of grey? Well hang on. Be strong.

New life by the sea

Since my last post, I have now picked up my life and moved it to the North Wales Coast. Back in with my parents, left my old rented houses behind and all my belongings are now in storage. I moved back in November, at first it was a wild rush in finding a job after my surgery. I did countless interviews and got a few rejection letters but I finally got offered a administration position with a local authority. It was a totally different career move but the flexibility of working from home and building up time off was worth it.

Then we reach December. What a month. Everyone was excited for the run up to Christmas. I was looking forward to a Christmas surrounded by my family after last years Christmas alone. However, everything reminded me of him. From decorations, to music, to seeing gifts that I knew he would have liked. It was so hard. It got to a point where I couldn’t hold back the tears from my eyes. I eventually went to see the doctor, they put me back on my meds and I started that dreaded process yet again. I held on and pushed through though. I am proud of myself for sticking to my guns even if there was some weaker moments.

As we moved into the new year from the sadness that was Christmas, things started to feel a lot better. I focused on work, making new friends around here and totally not thinking about having any relationships. By doing so, I ended up being away from home every weekend meeting up with various friends for drinks, gatherings etc. It kept my mind busy and I always had something to look forward to. I spent most of my life on trains.

By the end of April, I sat and reflected on everything. Where my life has ended up now. Why was I holding onto him still?

I took the leap and made that jump to file for divorce…

A whole year and 4 months of reflection and thinking, maybe a part of me was hoping that I could forgive what he did to me. I really had to look at myself in the mirror to find out that I will always love him dearly but I am no longer in love with him anymore. Even saying that out loud still hurts, he was my best friend, my everything. I devoted my whole life to him during our relationship and marriage. It was time to let go, I was only hurting both of us by dragging this out.

I picked up the phone and had that difficult conversation with him. We came to an agreement that it had to be done for both of our sakes. I will never stop loving him as a person and I only want the absolute best for that man but would I have ever seen past what he did to me.

Jump to today and now I’m starting to see a lot clearer. I’m working on building up my confidence and pushing myself out there. I’m still spending time with friends and making the most of any free time I have. I went on my first date only 2 weeks ago. Safe to say, that was an experience. It didn’t work out but that’s ok, it was totally impractical with us being in different points in our lives.

It was a big step and now I’m trying to let my guard down by talking to someone new. I will always worry that I will face further disappointment in life as I find that I just care a little bit to hard. But a relationship is not the be all and end all. I would just love to meet someone who shares interests, holds good conversations, and has a good heart. It’s not much to ask for… right?

We are so much more than we give ourselves credit for. We are so much more than we have ever imagined.

No you're not defeated oh. And soon you'll be smiling once again. Then you won't have to feel it. Let it go with the wind. Time passes us by, and know that you're allowed to cry. 'Cause when you're in your darkest hour and all of the light just fades away and when you're like a single flower whose colors have turned to shades of grey, well hang on. Be strong. Oh woah huh. Hang on. Hang on. Be strong. Da da da da dada da. Hold on and be strong.

So many people are suffering in relationships today because they refuse to let go of someone who isn't right for them:

They know, deep down, that the relationship isn't working, but they hold on, believing they can change the other person. They convince themselves that if they just try harder, sacrifice more, or love enough, the person will finally "love them back" the way they deserve.

The hardest part is realizing that no matter how much effort they put in, the other person has no intention of changing. They remain stuck, pouring their energy into a relationship that only brings them pain.

If you're in a relationship where the person is causing you more grief than happiness, it's time to let go. Accepting that things aren't working is the first and most important step to protecting yourself from further hurt.

It's crucial to be honest with yourself and admit when à relationship is breken beyond repair. So many people suffer because they refuse to face the reality of their situation, hoping things will mágically get better. But hope alone cannot fix a relationship.

If your current relationship isn't working, don't force it. The more you try to hold on to something that isn't meant to be, the more you'll hurt yourself in the process.

Remember this: nobody can take your happiness away unless you allow it. Your happiness is your responsibility-it's in your hands, not someone else's.

If you don't want others to mistreat you, you have the powerto stop them. You deserve respect, love, and kindness, and if those things are no longer being served, it's time to walk away.

Mental Health

I know this is not new to us, many people are suffering from depression no matter the age, status, or sex. We tend to cry over little things, we overthink about minimal problems or issues but it depends on how we take those things. I am also struggling with depression I feel pity sometimes, I think I'm not qualified to be successful in life, to be happy, and to live a peaceful life. Because I think of myself as a failure, but I did not let depression defeat me, I have realized that I've been through everything, I struggled and cried a lot in my 30 years of existence but that is how life works.

Life is not easy, it never was. But I know that we can face everything as long as we trust in our capability, let's change our mindset, suicide must never be our choice. Let's think of our problem as a lesson, we can find solutions in everything, I believe that nothing will be given to us that is out of our league. Learn to pray, it's a game changer.

To those struggling, please don't keep it to yourselves, make an outlet to release your stresses, learn a new sport, jog every day, listen to music, read a good novel, or watch your favorite movie or show. Spoil yourself, and find the good in everything. Take some time to rest your mind and your heart. recharge yourself, travel, and meet different kinds of people. always remember you are special in your own good way. Be strong!
