Life is so beatiful once you’ve dealt with the mess, once you’ve healed. A year of ‘single’ status on Facebook were the best days of my life.
This is the little granny flat with (very little material possessions) I lived in after my separation. I lived for me and for my son. I ate when I pleased, slept when I wanted to, meditated at times, lose weight, get fat, sang to my hearts content, decorated the way I like…. there was not a soul to judge me, criticise me, question me, despise me. I didn’t need to compete with anybody. The perks of being single.
DISCLAIMER: Following is a story that has touched my heart. Note this story is fictional, it does not represent any individual/ character alive or dead. It is about a girl who went from being in love, separating and finding real love. 🌸❤️🌸 I hope you are inspired to do the right thing in life after reading this. And I hope it gives you hope..
All is possible when you don’t quit believing in magic, in love. But first, love yourself. That’s the start.
Should I begin from the time she was a naive vulnerable teenager or when her world changed when she fell in love with the wrong man who showed her what an abusive relationship looks like, what being cheated feels like. And yet, there she was, standing before me, happily married (Take 2) to the man of her dreams. Some call her the #cougar to have married a guy way younger than her but when one goes through the worst nightmare all alone, they can really stop giving a f**k. (Excuse my French).
This girl first fell in love at 20 with all the misconceptions that Bollywood cinema feeds the minds of a young woman with. Someone with low self esteem and a huge inferiority complex she thought if a man proposed to her, it must be a one time thing and may never happen again so she said yes!! For 5 years they courted, she was constantly tested for her loyalty, she was intentionally hurt and she would let him. Little did she know that this was a power game and she was losing hers every day. Hailing from a different caste backed by an educated, it seemed like a curse coz that’s how she was made to feel at the in-laws. Oh the things she did to win their hearts. But nothing seemed to melt their hearts. She was hated, manipulated and abused. And she couldn’t share any of this with her parents coz she ‘chose’ this after all.
In the first year of the marriage, the husband (ex) cheated with a girl from his workplace. She could tell something was wrong but the truth finally came out when he broke up with her and the girl called her to tell her that he slept with her. Well well well… all hell broke lose for my friend, her world was shattered and her faith was shaken. She decided to end the marriage and threw him out of the house…… for 5 mins. Yes, the fool inside her won and she let him back in her life once again…..only to be cheated once again after a couple of months. This became a habit and he knew he could get away with it. The last girl he cheated with lived in their house with them as his ‘best friend’ for 10 years. He was careful this time not to get caught red handed and my friend like a fool once again believed him.
You know what was wrong with this friend of mine? Her own self esteem and lack of self worth that made her weak. But in her heart she knew love is for real and with the right man shw will feel it again. That’s exactly what happened. After 15 years, she left him and never turned back.
The time I was single were the best days of my life. Having found freedom, peace and sleep after a decade, I would never go back to my old life. In a small granny flat with very little furniture (mostly secondhand) I lived a very content life with my son and my dog.
In a year I met the love of my life online on a karaoke app. He was in London and I was in Australia. Things bloomed between us but families weren’t happy. He was much younger to me and his parents obviously wanted him to have a ‘normal’ marriage. I cried for 24 hours when he broke up with me (parent pressure) but didn’t stop loving him….from a distance I wished him well. We remained as friends to the point it started getting weird. Long story short, I made a trip to London and met his parents who magically fell head over heels in love with me and accepted me as their daughter in law.
Knowing how difficult it was going to be for me to move to London, he moved to Australia for me and rest is history. We got married and live happily ever since…..
Never stop believing in magic. It happened to the girl in the story and it happened to me. Love is real when you find it with the right man. Until then, being single has its perks 😉 …. just saying.
Today, I do what I always wanted to do. I love to create, style and surround myself with fashion, beauty, & home decor. I am in love with anything and everything that is girly, cute, floral and feminine. So, I started my YouTube channel. Check it out. The link is down below.
