Believe in Anything

One month. Exactly one month has passed since I became single. I have decided to take time to look back at how far I have come in that time. Truthfully, I am doing just fine. It surprises me how while I still get sad sometimes, I can pick myself and keep moving. This is not to say that I don't miss the past or wish things could have worked out differently, I do. However, I am finding out how strong I am. I can make it on my own and that is a really good feeling.
Previously, I wrote about living in a black and white world. This experience has taught me the need for the color gray. Sometimes, I am not happy, but I am not sad. I am not tired, but I am not awake. I am not right, but I am not wrong. Sometimes, I am in the middle. Sometimes, I am gray. I have learned that it is okay to just be okay.
I have been taking the time to take care of myself and I have learned a lot on the way, including the following:

• life is too short to waste time being unhappy
• the best way to spend time is with the people you love
• forgiveness is the key to happiness
• living in a little bit of gray is not a bad thing
• smile; happiness is the best revenge
• believe. just believe
