When we decide that we have suffered enough
When we decide that no one will EVER disrespect us to our face again
When we decide that we believe in love, but it must be based on truth
When we decide that our lives should not be spent trying to heal sick people perfectly happy to stay sick
When we believe that WE BELONG HAPPY (why should cheaters and bimbos have all the "fun")
Stop mourning the dead in spirit
Live for yourself, your children, your beautiful life to come
Today I looked in the mirror- and I saw myself- at 20
Confident, happy in my skin- unscarred
Believe in love- but most of all, believe in yourself

How very true. I hope to be in that place some day soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

"Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time."

So well put. Felt like a checklist and I am so happy that I could check off a lot of your criteria. Would also add:
-when we recognize that we can only control ourselves
-when we stop believing in fantasies and learn to live and love our reality
Those are two I need to work on, in addition to many others.
