I realized....

I realized that I'm over it...and I'm jumping for joy.

I realized that what I "thought" I needed was something that I was using to cover up what I was lacking.

I realized that WHO I thought I needed and would never leave, is completely out of my life and I've never been happier. Funny thing is, I thought I was at my "happiest" with that person.

I realized that I have to be my biggest cheerleader. There will be times on this journey of life that I have to go alone and if I rely on others to encourage me, I won't have it.

I realized that I am everything I am and everything I am not....and I like it ;-)

I realized that whoever God created for me, will be just for me. He'll adore me the way I will adore him. I won't have to impress him or be someone I'm not.

I realized that I am great....scratch that, I'm awesome.

I realized that I am a damn good woman. Just the way I am. I embrace change. I try to make the necessary changes needed for me to grow.

I realized that I will not ever compare myself to anyone else. There is only one me and one of them...We don't need two in this world.

I realized that it's okay to have a bad day. And if I do have a bad day, I need to remove myself from others so I don't encourage them to have a bad day.

I realized that since I've deleted some folks from my life, it's gotten so much better. I don't really think it's "gotten better" as much as I could see the better in my life. Funny how things turn out. Even as funny as it is, I wouldn't change it for the world. I enjoy where I am and where I'm going. And I also enjoy this journey with the family and true friends who are in my life.

Lastly, I realized that all I needed was God's grace and mercy. I've made some awesome choices and then some not so great ones. I don't need the approval or grace and mercy from one person. God has forgiven me and given more chances to make up for what was lost. Life is complete knowing that.
