My Freedoms Being Divorced
I love recognizing some of my freedoms I feel from being divorced that I didn’t get to experience ever or rarely over the 21 years I was married.
I feel freedom in knowing and running my finances. I feel freedom in crying and having my feelings validated. I feel freedom in knowing I am loveable and worth being a priority. I feel freedom in feeling physically attractive and worth sharing affection with. I feel freedom in knowing I am fun and I love to laugh. I feel freedom in exercising and sharing healthy goals with a partner. I feel freedom with knowing that my thoughts are valuable. I feel freedom in healthy communication. I feel freedom in protecting what happens in my home and keeping it a safe space. I feel freedom in knowing I can feel physically, emotionally and spiritually protected to feel safe with my partner. I feel freedom in knowing I am worth buying flowers or gifts for. I feel freedom in trusting relationships that have earned it. I feel freedom in knowing my role as a mom is what my kids need right now, even with my weaknesses. I feel freedom in knowing that my ability to be driven has presented opportunities and happiness I may have otherwise not experienced. I feel freedom in knowing I am a daughter of God and although I’m not perfect I can be through the Atonement. I feel freedom in knowing I am worthy of a loving companion that wants to work with and for me. I feel freedom in knowing I gave everything I had to my first marriage and although I made mistakes I didn’t deserve the consequences of his poor choices. I feel freedom in knowing that walking away from that marriage was a forced choice that has offered me more growth and joy than I ever thought was possible. I feel freedom in remembering who I was before I met him. I feel freedom and relief to know that his behavior and choices are no longer my concern. I feel freedom in being free!
