ParticipantHi Pamela. Thank you for your reply. I hope everything gets better for you. What I’ve learned through my journey is that things aren’t always going to be easy but it’s the difficult times that mold and form you. You need to have faith that even the worst of circumstances will pass and you will emerge a stronger and wiser person for having gone through it. Even today things are not a picture of perfection in my life, but they aren’t even a fraction of how bad they’ve been, so for that alone I am grateful. I encourage you to take a deep breath and try to take notice of what you have going on at this moment for which you can be grateful. When your heart is full of gratitude and appreciation, it can’t have fear or anger in it. I hope you emerge from your difficulties soon and realize that it wasn’t for nothing. Have a wonderful day and good luck!!!

ParticipantHi Moongal,
Thank you for your incredibly kind words. When I wrote this post it wasn’t for me, it was for other people, so that others could know that life can be difficult, but it can and does go on. It’s the trials that I am now so appreciative of because it has left me so happy and grateful for the life I live today. Please try to remember that enduring darkness will make the light that much more rewarding and wonderful. Thank you again for your kindness, I wish you much peace and love.April 30, 2015 at 11:48 am #75990Chelsea Clary

InactiveOh my gosh, I am so happy to have read this. I’m 23 and I’m going through my own personal hell and disaster. I’ve just escaped a 4 year long abusive relationship. Your story is the only one to bring me feelings of hope and to let me know that things can and may very well WILL work out! You seem like a kind and beautiful person and I hope one day that I can have that kind of grace, dignity, and humility in the way that I carry myself and in terms of the way that I think of my past. Thank you so much for the perspective.

ParticipantThank you Nicole. I tell my story for the exact response that you gave me. I want others to know that even when life seems horrible, that there is something better awaiting you at the end. I applaud you for having the strength to escape an abusive relationship, I know how hard they are to get out of. You will get through your trials and come out on the other side stronger and wiser, that I can promise because your reply shows strength. I wish you many blessings and a life filled with miracles and inner peace.
