chapter thirty two
The Best Is Yet To Come
It is almost three years since Jaxon, and I have broken up. These past three years have opened my eyes completely. I’ve accomplished things; I never thought I would. I’ve experienced life beyond what I have imagined, may that be good or bad, I have grown more profoundly. I’ve met new people that have touched my soul like it has never been touched before. I am grateful for the good, the bad, and the ugly, for I am who I am today because of it all!
Every sadness that I have endured has healed. It wasn’t easy, and most of the time I clawed my way out, but I did it. What I’ve learned these past several years is that everything heals . . . Your body, your heart, your mind, all wounds. However, you have to work hard to get there. It is not up to someone else to heal you, you are and should be the only one that can improve yourself. When you find the courage to take ownership of the pain, you become unstoppable. Trust me when I say that your confidence will rise when you can recognize the accomplishments you’ve made.
Eventually, you will be able to trust your intuitions. You will recognize that uneasy feeling is your soul rejecting something or someone. Never settle for anything. If it’s an uninteresting book, stop reading it. If the friendship or relationship is toxic, end it. If the path you are on doesn’t seem right, redirect it. The change may be hard, but worth it in the end!
Be real and honest with yourself. That’s where the growth and the adventure begins!
I never considered myself a lucky charm until now, and here is why. Immediately after dating me, the people I date either find love, get engaged and get married. It has been a trend for me these past several years. It is probably a coincidence, but I like to think I helped a little.
Here is an update on what has been happening with everyone that I have talked about in the blog;
Jaxon is married now. We do talk once in a while to catch up about life, and about Buddy. We are trying to be friends.
I speak to Jaxon’s parents, and his younger sister occasionally, but I miss them every day. Our friendship has developed a foundation beyond my relationship with Jaxon, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.
Not surprisingly, I have not spoken with Tyson since our park date. I am hoping he took a shower. I am happy to say that the people I have dated these past couple years have smelled much better.
Liam and I had continued to keep in contact, not as often as we did when I originally wrote the chapter. However, I am happy to announce that he is now back to his home country, and engaged to his girlfriend. I am delighted for him and couldn’t be more excited!
My New City Soulmate has also met her other soulmate, and she is genuinely in love!
BJ . . . You could probably guess . . . had a girlfriend the entire time. Not a surprise!
Everything that has happened, I know has happened for a reason. I am thankful for the experiences and the growth that came with it. I look forward to what life has in store for me because I know the best is yet to come!

REFLECTIONS / LESSONS LEARNED:
Be honest with yourself. Listen to your intuition. Feel the pain. Grow from the pain. While hurting remember to stay true to your integrity, don’t let the pain make you do and say things that you will regret later on. Even in the darkest hours, keep your head up high. Always remember that it takes time to heal all wounds. Be patient!
