I’ve wanted to go see this tree for 15 years or so.
It’s the Angel Oak Tree. It’s beautiful.
I had always hoped my ex would take me on a surprise trip to Charleston. I mentioned it only about 1,000x when we were married.
It never happened.
And I was all weepy for a while about that. It was one of the things that would come up as I grieved and processed my divorce. However, very recently I had an epiphany… I DON’T HAVE TO WAIT ON SOMEONE TO TAKE ME TO THE TREE… 🌳
I can get in the car and drive there myself! (After planning and budgeting it, of course)
Which is what i will do. This year.
I say all that to say :
QUIT WAITING ON OTHERS TO MAKE YOU HAPPY‼️‼️
Get up and get going.
YOU manage you.

👉🏼This is not meant to be a dig at my ex.
More at myself for giving someone else control over my feelings.
So this year: go see the things you wanna see.
Take the trips… with or without someone.
CHOOSE YOUR HAPPY, darlings 😃

((Written Jan 2020. My plan was to go on my own… then Coronapocalypse happened and the whole world shut down. Today, May 1 2021 I went to see the tree. It’s magnificent. It was an emotional moment and I shed some tears and let some things go. I look forward to many more adventures in this life))
