Lessons Learned

Everyone has an event or two in their lives that changes them irreversibly. When that happens, we need to extract the lessons from the pain. Then we heal ourselves and move forward.

Lessons I've learned:

Everyone deserves a second chance. But not a third.

Loneliness is different than solitude.

If it causes you more pain than happiness, let go.

Never hold on to something that is not holding on to you.

Never let someone else hold on to your happiness. They will drop it. Every single time.

I deserve to find happiness.
