Take care of you in the present. The future doesn't hurt. It can't, it hasn't happened yet. The past is history, all you need to do is learn from it.
THANK YOU. I did just that - just now. And then cried.

I have sacrificed SO much of myself . I cut off important parts of myself and now I want those parts back. It's like my wings were clipped the entire time with him. I grieve THAT vs the loss of HIM. I am not losing him, I am regaining myself. That's how I view this. But I grieve for the woman inside that I have neglected, and who was neglected in this relationship. He neglected me. Now it's ME time.

And yes, I can definitely learn from this experience.
