I wasn’t angry because I was insecure, wasn’t bitter because life was going on without me and wasn’t broken because I lost people along the way. I was angry, bitter, and broken because I thought I had put in enough work to be able to heal quickly and move on. I thought the medicines of forgiveness, faith, and fortitude would have allowed me the ability to self-correct and get over it. I have worked hard over the past decade to ensure I was ok. I knew life would continue to be a teacher and throw test my way but if I had the necessary tools I thought I could navigate easily.
