The not so funny thing about life is that you will continue to repeat the same scenarios throughout life, if you don't learn from each experience. You are are doomed to repeat each and every one until you do. It's not the most optimal thing to hear , but it's the truth. So open the book to your whole story and learn from it , it's never too late.

Open the book to your whole story. Not just the parts you want to reread over and over again, but the whole darn thing. This is the only way to not have your history repeat itself over and over again.

Be the author of your own story, not the reader of it.

Live truthfully and your story continues to move forward. Live dishonestly and you will repeat the same chapter over and over.

Stop and ask yourself "why" you would ever go back where you worked so hard to get away from. Is something missing within yourself still, loneliness, or just plain curiosity? When you look back at any toxic relationship and wonder "what if ", you have not fully healed yet. If you were healed , you wouldn't think twice, not even once, about going back to that chapter in your story.

Don't create your own version of someone else's story, when you refuse to share your own.

Don't be ashamed of your story up to now. Make peace with it instead. Read it loud and proud. This will not only help start the healing process within, but will also set your soul free to begin to write again.

You are one positive change, one new choice, or one unexpected chance away from a different way of life. Hold on tight and don't let go. Rediscover the original story that has been inside you all along.
