I love your blog. I feel like you and I are fairly similar. I'm coming out of a 7 year relationship which didn't do anything to help my self-esteem and I'm terrified of any more change in my life right now. But Somewhere inside I also know that to settle with what I have is to sell myself short. <br /><br />The courage to be happy.

But I guess I just want to encourage you to keep going, to take each day as it comes. I think you are worth fighting for! And you should not settle for anything less. Yes, sometimes we go through times where that happiness seems to have gone and we feel like going through a valley of some sort but when we start climbing the mountains and even though it seems hard it is so worth it because once we have reached the top we can enjoy the most beautiful view. So, keep climbing, keep pursuing that joy and I believe God will give you not only the couarge to find joy but actual joy which comes right from the heart.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03094700122900089832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-32192769913678228092011-09-29T08:30:02.787-04:002011-09-29T08:30:02.787-04:00I was here not too long ago, but I am trying to be...I was here not too long ago, but I am trying to be positive like you, and be brave enough to try.<br /><br />You will get there it just takes time and lots of positive thinking instead of the negative ones that seem to collect so quickly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298007276718492716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-10003679103539631102011-09-28T23:50:18.589-04:002011-09-28T23:50:18.589-04:00You are worth it.
