Recently I made the decision to move in with Dad, his wife, and my half brother. This move was a huge decision when it came to my life. It was a big change and a really messy and hard thing to do, given some circumstances that presented themselves. Especially the reason why I had to move in the first place.
I hadn't really seen my dad in awhile so making the decision to move in with him gave me a sort of anxiety. But it was the best decision for me, and As I have learned it was the best decision I think I have ever made. My world did a complete 180, but for the better.
Every night when we have dinner we sit down and eat while playing a board game, for example go fish or Sorry. We have movie nights every Friday night, last Friday we watched King Kong and had pizza. I have never been one to enjoy quality family time, I wasn’t that close with my mother but with my Dad and step mom, it’s easy .. it’s enjoyable. I actually look forward to coming home and just sitting on the couch and talking to them for hours and watching Master Chef.
With that said, I have taken a look back at myself a year ago vs me now, and I love the person I am now. I am happier, brighter, and love life a lot more. Being able to get out of a toxic and terrible situation changed my mindset, my attitude, and my outlook on life. I will forever be grateful for that.
I have a tattoo that says, “With pain comes Strength” .. it is something I live by day to day.. and the situation I have just gone through and continue to go through has taught me just that.
I'm glad you're doing better, Alora. Having a good home life can help out a lot, and you're definitely more cheerful lately. My family doesn't really do activities like playing games together, but it's really enjoyable to go out to eat together sometimes. Pizza is the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you, Alora. I'm glad you're loving the you that you've become, and it's great that your situation now is much better than before. Change can be a good thing even if it scares you at first. It's wonderful that you overcame your anxiety and accepted the change that came your way. It's great that the change that you went through was for the better. I love the saying "with pain comes strength". It's entirely true, and it's a great saying to live by. I'm glad you learned that through your experience. I hope you can keep living in the best possible situation for you, no matter what that situation may be.
