I can relate to your post also......the tangled trees along the way, I carved into my memory so that I couldn't forget for fear that I would need those memories in court some day to put the horrible person away from society. Those memories are carved into my life......but my move to Kentucky has opened up my life into a beauty where the only trees are those in the woods that I own on my farm.
Life has become beautiful & all the dark nightmares & horrible thoughts have finally escaped my dreams. I learned from the experiences I had & the knowledge I have gained will be useful in my future to protect others from such an experience.....but beauty has now entered my life....& the flowers are blooming all around.....& even though I am not currently in the location of that new life, it is with me in my mind & that new person who was renewed is now who I am.
That doesn't mean that the path I am taking now is perfect or even easy since I am dealing with a relationship issue that is tough......but I have made my choices based on what I need in my own life....& the things I have control over. That is as far as we can ever hope to go.....we have to let the things around us do what they need to do for their own lives....because those are the things they control.....& sometimes we have to let go & focus on the beauty in our own lives.
Hope your path continues to be beautiful....when you focus on your own life & do what you need to do to stay happy, it is hard to go wrong,
Debbie
