At the beginning of this year, I had a clear vision of what I wanted to achieve. A few months later, I became unexpectedly single after seven years of being in a relationship. My vision had suddenly changed. It no longer involved the two of us, it was just me.
Instead of putting my life on hold, I decided to reassess my plans, make some adjustments and carry on. Time waits for no one! Fortunately, my vision hasn’t changed too much. I’ve just figured out a different way to achieve it. ‘Adapt and overcome’ has become my new mantra!
I strongly believe in staying positive and keeping focused. As easy as it is to dwell on the past, it’s pointless. In fact, the ONLY time I want to look back is to see how far I’ve come. And that’s it! I absolutely refuse to live backwards.
In the meantime, I’d much rather spend my energy on moving forward. I might not have it all figured out yet but the main thing is that I keep going. Standing still won’t get me anywhere. It’s fine to pause, it’s fine to breathe but I will not stop.
Besides working towards my goals, I’ve also made some brand new plans. They’re things I wanted to do in the future anyway but now I’ve just moved them forward. I’ll let you know about them as the year goes on but I’m so excited. I can’t wait to try new things and put myself out there!
The best advice I can give anyone going through something similar is to keep going. No matter what happens, no matter how many people bring you down and no matter how tired/fed-up/down you feel – put your favourite lipstick on, keep going and don’t give up. Believe you can and you will!
Well done for staying strong. True inspiration.

I love this post. Good on you for staying strong. I can imagine it hasn’t been easy, but it is amazing that have just been able to keep looking onwards and upwards! X
Keep going lovely, everything happens for reason and although it might not feel like that now, one day you’ll realise it was for the best, you may well have dodged a bullet. I have been in the same situation and it is hard to keep going isn’t it? But one day you think “oh wow it’s been so many months and I haven’t cried” and then you know it’s getting better, keep smiling darling, you’re beautiful, it’s a huge loss to the ex and one day will be someone else’s gain xxxx
