This is not a bitching fest about your ex.
It is important for your healing and self-preservation, to be sure to not fall into the terrible habit of going over and over again and again how horrid he is.
The focus needs to remain on yourself. On your healing.
Hold fast to your decent character throughout all this hurt.
The only person you can trust is yourself. Do not betray yourself.
Stay True. Stay Decent. Stay Classy!
We do not bitch. We are not ruminating. We are not victims.
This truth bomb has been a gift. To receive clear vision.
This is a mindset you will achieve by the end of this book. Life has done you a favour.
The charming sarcasm is ours to stay honest and sane. But be sure, we are not spiteful. We are not revengeful. The jokes are jokes. Know your boundaries.
We are safely & privately expressing natural emotions.

Betrayal isn’t just painful. It’s earth-shattering. It forces you to question everything... your worth, your instincts, your entire reality.
And people will tell you, “Don’t let this define you.”
But here’s the truth: It will.
It will define how you show up for yourself in ways you never have before.
It will define how you love yourself, fully, fiercely, unapologetically.
It will define how you trust yourself, because from now on, your intuition is the only voice that matters.
It will define how you live your life, not weak, bitter, stuck in past. But as someone in love with their own life!
As it should be.
This is the emotional challenge of your life that will change you. Not because it broke you, but because it has allowed you the space to upgrade into the most powerful version of you!
This IS going to define you
