Daily writing prompt
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

The goal was to survive. Literally that simple.

The only way that I could survive was to escape my marriage. It had all started out so well. He was a qualified lawyer with all the accouterments and seemed fascinated by me. There were compliments by the score. And I was flattered and believed that this man was the One. I submerged myself in the joy of being wanted for all of me.

We got married. And then he changed. Psychological and emotional abuse was his weapon of choice. I managed a total of 10 years with this monster. I lost myself completely and reached a point where I knew that I needed to leave him to survive.

This was the hardest and most frightening journey for me. And I experienced many false starts. Failing many times.

I finally managed to leave him completely. I painstakingly rebuilt myself and rediscovered my soul. The toughest period of my life. And I celebrate my liberation every day.

A personal goal reached and a happy soul.
