Don't let your struggle become your identity.
"Don't let your struggle become your identity."
A Pinterest quote I read today that really hit home.
Ouch.
I've been moping, unhappy, depressed, withdrawn and sad - for no other reason than the reality of my situation with an A in denial. And my feelings and actions because of those feelings are just making it worse - for me, AND for him.
I've had a lot of fun things going on with friends - the A hasn't been drinking much around me - he hasn't been an a$shat lately. Family is coming in 2 weeks and I miss them terribly. My A boss has been minding her P's and Q's lately - work is busy and fulfilling for the first time in a while.
Generally, life is good and I haven't been able to pull myself out of this rut - I'm letting my feelings get the best of me.
I'm letting my struggle become my identity.
Fun friends are coming over for dinner and I'm going to put on a freaking happy face - and more than that, actually BE happy.
"Change your thoughts, and you'll change your world." Another one I need to remember more often.
