Tuscaloosa, ALI am studying music and philosophy at the University of Alabama. I am very happy. :)
My life began to fall apart when my boyfriend broke up with me. He began going to parties and drinking and meeting up with other guys within two weeks of our break up. We still lived together and it was really difficult seeing him daily. We couldn’t stop living together because of our lease, but I wasn’t sure I could ever move on. I could barely smile. I put up a front to everyone at school. I had breakdowns every day for a week.
I remembered that I had a copy of The Power. I had read The Secret and applied it to my life and it changed everything, but that night we broke up, my life was shattered. I began reading The Power every day. I was hoping and praying that I could be happy again. The line that changed my outlook (nearly a month later) was: “It is a bitter pill to swallow when your heart is breaking, but you must respect everyone’s freedom and right to choose.” It made me realize that I am responsible for my own happiness. I alone make the choices that make me sad, and I decided to make myself happy again. I remembered what happiness was and that I have every right in the world to be happy!
I began thinking and praying that we could stop living together because it was still hard seeing him so much. I gave love to everything (even the squirrels on campus). I noticed the beauty in everything, even the people I didn’t like to be around, I would find SOMETHING to make me love them.
A couple of weeks after constant prayers to the universe, he told me yesterday that he thinks he found some apartments he could afford and he may be moving out soon. That made me so happy because I wouldn’t have to worry about seeing him so much. It felt like I could move on!! It feels like my life is becoming everything I have ever dreamed of. I almost lost all hope (until yesterday). I know The Secret works. I know that the universe is full of love and will help all of us who need it.
Thank you Rhonda for helping me through one of the toughest times in my life, may love fill your life every day!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And to anyone who is going through something similar, I PROMISE you, it WILL get better. And you will smile again, and you will know love. Stay strong.
