When I was studying for my Traditional Oriental Medicine master’s degree, I was always aiming for an A+, or at least an A grade.
Unfortunately, I ended up with A- for one of my courses. At first, I felt devastated, that my perfect track record is now no more. But over time, I started to feel elated, because I no longer have to put myself under so much pressure to maintain my so called “perfect” track record. I started to relax and enjoy studying, instead of just studying for the sake of studying.
This is how I’m starting to feel regarding my love life as well. I strived so hard for the past 13.5 years to keep my marriage from falling apart. Now that it has, and now that I’m finally starting to accept the truth of the matter, I’m beginning to feel more relaxed towards life, especially regarding my love life.
Now, I can finally choose to be with someone that I am truly compatible with, someone that loves me with his heart and soul, someone that will laugh with me through the happy times, and cry with me through the sad times.
I feel sad for the ending of my marriage, but at the same time, I feel happy, that I am finally set free! ๐บ
