One of the best things I learned was that it was never too late to start over.
I've heard this being said before but it never really clicked until I met someone who embodied it fully and unapologetically. My Palestinian neighbors had a relative who I had always looked up to when I was in high school. She was smart, funny, loving, and most importantly knew her worth. Her worth wasn't spoken about. Never had I heard her utter things like "I'm confident" or "I know my worth" or anything else along those lines. However, she did embody it.
When I was in high school she was being courted by a man who seemed to adore her and shower her with love. From the outside looking in, he seemed enamored with her. At some point, she accepts to being his wife. They have a lovely engagement party. The wedding was going to be even better. So, imagine my surprise, and many others, when on the day of the wedding, as people are getting ready and making their way to the venue, the entire thing is called off. Money was already put in. Money they couldn't get back. The reason for calling off the wedding? This man began to insult her and make some interesting remarks and as a result she decided she wasn't going through the wedding. I don't know what was said but I do know her family made it clear that she should've worked it out rather than just leave especially on the actual wedding day. After all, what would people think? For those who don't know, plenty of Middle Eastern and North African cultures would view this as an issue. And I personally know many women who have had deep regrets over their marriage but were too worried about the stigma of canceling the wedding when it was so close and the potential of being seen as difficult or spoiled. Of course, this wasn't everyone but a good majority.
Seeing this very statement of "never too late to start over" be embodied by someone wholeheartedly really altered my perspective when I was younger. I also got to see first hand the strength it requires to start over while everyone around you is judging your very decision. Thanks to her I grew up with a solid example to follow and have tried my best to have this attitude with everything in my life. Personally, it has paid off well.
someday i will post pictures of me and my love and everyone will look at them and say stuff like "goals" or "me and who" or "lord i've seen what you've done for others". people will look at me and feel hopeful that someday they will get to have the same joy i have. people who don't know me will be excited to look at pictures of my wedding because i will look so happy and safe and beautiful and in love. it will happen!
it's been 82 days
i've never talked on here at all and as stated i'm terrified of 90% of my fanbase so... if any of pathos's friends wanna chat that'd be nice? idk man.
boo. guess who it is :3 (if you dont get it right im still staying silly)
i feel like so many people i know online talk like this my chances are astronomically low the first person i can think of who uses :3 isn't on here and the second i don't *know* if they'd use "staying silly" and we barely interact... and i don't feel like that one mutual would be on anon very often at all?
