It’s my birthday soon…

next friday, the 30th, i will turn 28. I am wondering what to do to treat myself… here’s my list:

- a short trip to berlin
- a short trip at the sea
- the new harry potter book (special edition, will be out in june though..)
- a good massage
- eating sushi in bed
- a new haircut
- buying some clothes
- all of the above (which means working like hell the days after to find all the money spent…)

any other idea?

    I don’t know much about your situation, but I know that sometimes the hardest things to do tend to be the best things in the end. I ended a seven-year marriage…seven years because I was so scared of the change–I should have done it five years prior. He was a good man, but for me, not the right one. It was, quite literally, the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life and watching him leave for the last time (he moved 3,000 miles back to his parents), was the worst feeling. I was so scared, but I endured, thanks to the support of many friends. I thought I would be alone for a long while, maybe dating and having a difficult time of that. 8 months later, I met someone and just last month (three years later), he married me. :) If I had never taken that first scary step, I wouldn’t be in the very happy place that I am now.

    So hold your head up high, believe that things will turn out for the best, and inevitably, they will.

    i am not an expert on relationships but i believe that during times of immense confusion and great pain, one should look deep into themselves and into their hearts to determine what they really want and to realize what will really make them happy.

    maybe travelling will be an effective therapy. it might help take your mind off things for awhile and it will also help put things in perspective.

    i wish you all the best.=)

    dear m-c!! i’m sad to read how you are doing… it’s hard to give you advice when i don’t know more about your situation, but if you have made such a difficult decision, then it must be from your heart, and you must follow what your heart tells you. you must be true to yourself. i think some travelling will do you good right now, maybe with a friend or visiting some friends on the way? that way, you’ll have the chance to meet new people and places, be inspired by things that give you a new perspective on life and yourself, and also have the support of friends who know you.

    i wish you a sweet new start, and that you come out of the clouds soon to be able to enjoy the blue sky!!

    sunny hugs

    sorry that you are having a crap time. I hope that it passes quickly.

    Sometimes going away even for a long weekend shifts things enough to see the way ahead. I was having a bad time in a job about two years ago. Went up to the Scottish Highlands with a friend for the weekend. When I got back I just knew the right thing to do was to resign.

    all the best

    I think it is safe to say that we have all experienced this sort of pain. Be proud of yourself for working up the courage to do what you know is right - even though the pain and fear surrounding you now might make that a difficult thing to remember. In the end, you will be a stronger person for this. My thoughts are with you and although I don’t know the details of your situation, I am proud of you for taking action. Just know that although it feels horrible right now, things will be fine and you will be happier living your truth. Best of luck in your travels.

    In the meantime, here are a few quotes that have helped me in difficult times:

    Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage - Anais Nin

    Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Life the life you’ve imagined. - Thoureau

    “Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to anhiliation can that which is indestructible be found in us.” From “Things Fall Apart” by Pema Chodron

    m-c, i found your blog through anissa, and am glad that you have picked up your web blog again. i truly enjoy your illustrations and your thoughts. i am sorry that this is a difficult time for you.

    i ended a 10 year relationship and very soon, found the love of my life, the man who was right for me.

    i have one quote for you. i do like the thomas merton one, for he is a good writer.

    “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” - Helen Keller

    Be well!

    You are in charge of how you think and feel,especially being a woman,if you ended the relaionship there must be a reason. When we break up all we think about is the great times but never reflect on why we parted,its funny. Try and create the best possible outcome for your pain and I hope you have the ultimate healing journey
