I know it's a little late lol, but I wanted to share some of what I'm thankful for. I am most thankful for all of life's obstacles and struggles, that which I simply cannot handle alone. These difficulties always remind me of how lucky I am to be so loved by my friends and family, as these are the times when I need them and they never fail to be there to support me. It is the struggles in life that give me the opportunity to appreciate just how blessed I am and I am very thankful.
My boyfriend, whom I love very much, broke up with me today because he wants to give his ex another chance. I would like to say that my immediate emotional response was righteous anger, that I told him off and immediately cut all ties with him. In truth, though, my first response was a feeling of coldness in a small area circumnavigating my heart. It was as though something that used to be there keeping it warm had been removed without any warning or any trace.
This feeling hasn't given way just yet. My heart is broken and it may be for some time. All the same, there was something so beautiful in the world that it inspired me to such love that the loss of it physically hurt me. And the world is still that place, a place full of such beauty. Even though it can be painful and overwhelming at times, I love it. It gave me a beautiful time with a beautiful man and, though that time was fleeting, the memories of it will not be and the knowledge of my capacity for love that that time provided me is mine always.
He is giving his ex a second chance because he has begun to improve himself and his station in an effort to win my (now ex) boyfriend back. A man has committed to improving his life significantly, inspired by love. And that's a world I want to live in. A world where love gives people second chances.

You're a better person than I am. My boyfriend broke up with me because his family doesn't think I'm religious enough and didn't want me to drag him to hell with me.
I DID tell him off for that one.
Oh darling.
I have been with a broken heart before my dear, so I know the agonizing pain. And just remember these words that madea always says. If somebody wanna walk outta your life, Let- Them- Go. Sure I know how hard that sounds, but your a beatiful, smart man and one day your going to find someone who is gonna love you so much.
