The reality is that you have chosen to find your happier life. It takes time to find because the world is a big place and you are no longer limited by something and someone who treated you badly.
Your happiness is out there.
Paperwork can feel intense. It's an official checkpoint in this. If it didn't cause you to pause for a moment, it would be concerning. I think the key is to feel what you feel in the moment and keep finding your happier life. Moments to reflect remind us that the past is done and the future is where we are going.
