The Jazz is right. Three years ago I left the bosom of my sisters. I didnt particularly like them and found them judgmental of people and their ideas. The infighting, the gossip, the hate, all of it started to turn my stomach. And then a year ago I left my ex. Since then, one of my girls has stopped talking to me. These people dont seem to see themselves as what I gave up, instead seeing the house, connection, etc.
I was lamenting to my therapist the other day : What the hell have I done? I did this to myself. She asked if I were happier, and I said Yes, of course.
Happiness and integrity is the way to go. For me, what Ive done fits and makes sense to me. Even if others see it as giving up a lot, Ive actually gained more. You might too.
