Life Lessons

I have to say that the biggest thing in my life was when i left my husband and went out on my own with the two boys. I moved to springfield and got a job and did it on my own for 2 years. it was very hard for me to do. I left a good job and a place where I knew everyone to go back to school and follow a dream. But i learned a very good lesson from it all and it was life changing. I learned that everyone should attempt to follow their dreams no matter the price... it really is not the sucess but the perswon that you want to be and the things you believe. i could have stayed in my happy home with the two boys and our pet and kept my job and painted the picture of the american dream. But it just was not what I wanted and was finding that I was drowning in it all. i tried for many years to make it what I wanted becasue it was the responsible thing to do with two kids but it truly was not for me. Yes some call it selfish that is true but I see it as a little of both. I was being very selfish while I was sitting there in Cliton living from day to day with the same old thing no real LIFE happening. It was what some would call a life but it was not for me. I was so incredibly miserable putting on wieght and drowning in self pity and following what my husband at the time thought was right. I never followed what was right for me. I am almost thirty years old and because I allways followed someone else I have never really discovered what is right for me. There are many lessons that I learned through all the split and giving up my home and comfort zone for a a venture into myself, but the biggest really is life is short and it only is what we make it.
