A Brave New World

Back in the days of the great explorers they would set off into the unknown uncertain of what they would find when they got there. We I was in my abusive relationships the idea of getting out of them was very much like that.

I knew deep down that I needed to get out but the fear stopped me every time. The fear of what was out there. The fear of what would happen to me and more importantly what would have happened to my children if I left. I believed the county would take them from me and I would never see them again.

I believed she would come after me and cause me great harm. I believed all kinds of things that in the end when I did finally get out never happened. When the old sailors out they thought they might fall off the end of the world and that was a real big fear for them. They could not see past the horizon and they thought that was the end of the world.

Before I got out the boundaries seemed to be the end of the world and I would fall off if I left. I did leave and I found what they found a brave new world ready for me. I found everything I needed to build a new life, a happy life. Today things are good and getting better all the time. Face your horizon find your star and go for it and don’t look back. Your worst day in this brave new world will be better than you best day in you current world.
