"My fairy tale ended when my fairy left." Abby, on the thread for the royal wedding/fairy tale relationships. I've been having a tough few days and that made me laugh.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

On a more serious note, a epigram that helped me in my new life was "Jesus - a man you can trust".
I had moved away from the denomination I was raised in and was turned off to churches in general because all they seemed to want to talk about was sex, i.e. their views on gays which they were sure were God's too. Post-separation I found that the teachings of Jesus provided the healing and guidance I needed. .

I liked and saved this one in the early days...

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won’t happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving in with my life’

Oh and...

Don’t let the emotional aftershocks of regret to take you down and rob you of your destiny. Remember you’ve already survived the earthquake.

For those of us recovering from the trauma of TGT:

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different - C.S. Lewis

and because I love C.S. Lewis:

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream"

Good idea Phoenix as I just wrote out the following and put them on my wall....

“Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world” Helen Keller

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage”. Anais Nin

“Be miserable or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done is your choice”. Wayne Dyer

Tough week for me as GIDX married....so I put these up....helps a bit...
