That's sure to stop ME from being happy ever after. I also do a lot of Buddhist reading and try to actually use some of what I read.
Thanks for your thoughts. Good luck letting go, may we all be able to detach with love and self love.
Poh-loved the quote "let go or be dragged"
Indeed.
I hadn't realized how much hope I was holding on to until I saw the photos of the new gf. After all of the devastatingly cruel things he said to me, it isn't like I would want him back anyway. I just need to get on with the business of healing and finding my own happiness...
