Our Side of the Story

Good morning :) Have a great day🖤

“A writer once said that it is not time that changes man, nor knowledge; the only thing that can change someone’s mind is love. What nonsense! The person who wrote that clearly knew only one side of the coin.”

“Yes, perhaps love really could transform someone, but despair did the job more quickly.”

“Despite her apparent freedom, her life consisted of endless hours spent waiting for a miracle, for true love, for an adventure with the same romantic ending she had seen in films and read about in books.”

“Despite her apparent freedom, her life consisted of endless hours spent waiting for a miracle, for true love, for an adventure with the same romantic ending she had seen in films and read about in books.”

“life is a parachute jump; it’s taking chances, falling over and getting up again; it’s mountaineering; it’s wanting to get to the very top of yourself and to feel angry and dissatisfied when you don’t manage it.”

“I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It’s all a question of how I view my life.”

“Missed chances. She had learned very early on what that meant. “I love you,” though, were three words she had often heard during her twenty-two years, and it seemed to her that they were now completely devoid of meaning, because they had never turned into anything serious or deep, never translated into a lasting relationship.”

“and dreaming is very pleasant as long as you are not forced to put your dreams into practice. That way, we avoid all the risks, frustrations and difficulties, and when we are old, we can always blame other people—preferably our parents, our spouses or our children—for our failure to realize our dreams.”

MY THOUGHTS ON DIVORCE (Part II) I took notes from your stories, asked a wise woman I call my mother about it and came back with a bit of perspective alterations lol Should divorce be advocated for? No. But is it the only choice in some circumstances and right? Yes, definitely. A marriage should be a union of understanding, decency, respect and most of all LOVE. Life as an individual gets bumpy and too much to bear let alone having another person’s life on your responsibility table and taking care of them. But it doesn’t mean one should give in to these obstacles and give up on their family. Try all the alternatives that seem as helpful to mend the broken parts of the marriage and family, ask for help (family therapy) or friends and more. But when all these don’t seem to work out, divorce seems the only option. The marriage could be consuming the living energy out of the partners, their inner peace, mental health, and all the good things about them. And as a family the more the marriage sustains the more it’s putting everyone involved at risk, partners and their children. If all options are run out of and the heart states what it wants, maybe divorce is the right/only choice.
