- I am in control of my life and my role in this relationship. I've given a timeline and I know what decisions I will make depending on the feedback I get by the end of that timeline.
- I am strong. I can get through 2 weeks and I will be a different, stronger, wiser person for it.
- I can deal with this pain. I'm a child of God and He has promised me His strength. He will never give me more than I can handle.
- J deserves space and time to figure out what he wants. I deserve to know if I am what he wants or not.
- I have a right to stand by the decisions I make. If he wants to just be friends and that doesn't work for me, or if I want to have someone else help us through our individual struggles and our relationship, then I owe it to myself and him to stand by my convictions. Even if he doesn't agree with me, I will still stand by them. I deserve to have peace about the steps that I take and I must take them.
- I deserve happiness. If someone is not in love with me, if they can not see past my faults and failures, then I need to move on until I find that person who will. I will always mess up and fail, I need to and will try to always own up to and work on my shortcomings, but I am a person and I need to be accepted. Love your wives as Christ loved the Church-I'm completely ok with that part of Paul's teachings and I want that from a partner.
- Nic recommended these two books:
- Thomas Merton's Thoughts in Solitude
- If I love him, I need to be able to let him go.
