Divorce really is like grief, and as much as people laugh at how long we’ve been married, I think my expectations made it come true, my hope made it come true, my effort made it come true, my tears made it come true , so I cry for this girl that I was at the beginning of this marriage. I was so hopeful and I had less baggage and I was optimistic and I was healed.

She continued, “I might be crying and I might be sad right now, but I’m glad I’m moving forward…it’s really done now, so I’m letting it go.” I let it go I don’t have to Don’t hold those expectations anymore. I no longer have to turn to someone who doesn’t have the ability to give back. Now I can just focus on my friends and family and the people who see the value in me, the people who support me and the people who remind me of who I am… a new chapter – a whole really new book. It’s a good thing. No tears anymore. I’m tired of being a damn sad girl. “
