I am a 42-year-old woman who once gave up her career for the sake of her family. In the past few days, I thought I had found the whole of life, but the haze of divorce made me re-examine my life and find my direction again.
Marriage, for me, used to be a fog, I fought for it, paid for it, but never found my own home. In my eyes, marriage is a responsibility, a sacrifice, and an endless giveaway. I used to be a successful woman, but for the sake of my family, I chose to take a break from my job and devote myself to building a family. I believe that it will be worth it, and I believe that I will reap happiness from it.
But happiness doesn't always go your way. The reality of marriage makes me feel tired and helpless. The effort and love I put in was in exchange for a deeper and deeper chasm and a lack of understanding. I found that I had lost myself, the independent and strong I had been. Under the pressure of my family, my heart gradually became confused, anxious, and lonely.
Until one day, I chose to leave. The divorce process was difficult and tortuous, but I knew that it was the first step in finding myself again. I'm no longer the woman who lives for others, I'm going to be myself again.
After the divorce, I felt empty and hesitant. My life was like a dream, and I didn't know where I was going. But life always gives us opportunities and the courage to start over. I picked up my old job and got back into my career. Although the years have left traces on my face, I still firmly believe that I still have dreams worth pursuing, and a future waiting for me to achieve.
On the road of my career, I encountered many difficulties and challenges, but I did not back down. I learned to face it, I learned to be strong, I learned to love myself again. I began to understand that happiness does not depend on others, but on my own heart. I rediscovered my worth and embraced the beauty of life again.
In the process of rediscovering myself, I met someone special. He is a warm and mature man who gives me endless care and understanding. The encounter between us was not an accident, but an arrangement of fate. In his company, I felt the warmth of life and the power of love.
The conversation between us, from the initial strangeness to the later familiarity, every exchange made me feel his sincerity and kindness. He gave me the shoulder to confide in and gave me endless courage. We shared each other's stories, shared each other's dreams, and we slowly walked into each other's lives.
In his company, I felt the taste of happiness. We share the bits and pieces of life together and face the challenges of life together. His love made me feel the meaning of life and made me rediscover the direction of my life. I know that I am no longer lonely, no longer confused, because I have found a shoulder to lean on and a heart to confide in.
After the divorce, I found my direction in life again. I learned to be strong, I learned to be brave, I learned to love myself again. Life is still full of challenges, but I am no longer afraid because I know that I am not fighting alone. In the company of love, I am willing to face everything in life bravely and bravely pursue my dreams.
I know that happiness is not eternal, but I would like to believe that as long as we are brave enough to pursue it, happiness will always be with us forever.
