I’ve never been good at moving on. I’ve always been the type of girl who could hold on to anything, or anyone for forever.

 

but recently I told someone that I can never see the ex-husband and I getting back together. and I didn’t lie.

 

I almost feel bad for feeling this way. ridiculous, right? I think my issue is that I feel like I’ve failed my kids because our marriage didn’t work. but the truth is that he and I are friends. and we make really good friends. I’ll always love him in some way because he’s my childrens’ father, but beyond that, he’s my friend. so we didn’t fail our kids. the fact that we were adult enough to realize that our marriage wasn’t working is too important for any part of the situation to be a fail.

 

my name’s chantele, and I’ve moved on.

 

sheesh that’s nice.

That quote right there is fabulous. And it's so true.

As I approach this new phase of my life, I'm realizing that not knowing what happens next is exciting. I wake up every morning wondering what's in store for that day.


I'm still a total work in progress, but there's definitely been progress. And that is what really matters.

This is my only post.

It feels like I'm growing up. I'm learning to let go of the things I can't control.


Stay tuned.
