Am such an early morning person as some can see on my snap, usually up by 5am. Let's start this day on a different note, shall we🤗 Ladies and gentlemen I've heard you loud and clear, the advises, the consolation, the pity, the hurt you feeling on my behalf most of all the betrayal. But let's look at this on the positive side. When a person chooses to cheat on you it's not YOU actually its THEM which usually turns out that they played themselves while they thought they are playing you. You should never look down on yourself, don't ever think you are worthless because of another person's mistake & never blame yourself. But always look at how to pick yourself up and get going. That said, with my birthday approaching let's put all this negative energy behind us and appreciate, LIFE! 🌹
