A stigma around divorcees
Like every marriage must work out
Till death do us part
The sacred vow
A bond for a lifetime
Inseparable
Together forever
It’s all too simple
There is no room for the messiness of real life
Broken hearts
Broken relationships
Broken homes
Broken
I don’t know anyone who is whole
I haven’t met anyone without a past
Finding a perfect partner is a fantasy
A pipe dream to put off what scares you
Getting back up
Back in the game
For me, I made some bad mistakes
I am far from perfect
I don’t have it all put together
What I do have is awareness
I know my flaws
I can see my sin
I recognize my struggles
I have learned from this
I am different now
I dare say I have changed
What now?
I don’t know what the future holds
I will show up everyday
And see what comes
The only way to end your life is to stop showing up
I didn’t think this would be a part of my story, but sometimes we don’t get to write our story. Sometimes we live and the living writes our story.

Broken dreams, broken promises, broken covenant. It is broken. That’s why I love Easter. He rose again so we will too. Hang in there bro, hope never fails. Bless you for showing up every day!

I’m just starting this journey. I’m not on the other side, but your words were of comfort. Thank you.
It started out really painful, but got better as time wore on.
