You know what's funny about life? Something I realized over the past year.
When my separation and divorce began about a year ago, some people started watching the content I was sharing—people who didn’t really know me but thought they did. They felt uncomfortable with it because they didn’t quite understand. These weren’t family members, just distant acquaintances from different parts of life who didn’t get it. What I was actually doing was making light of the situation, sharing parts of my story to connect with others on social media who might be going through the same thing and showing them how to come out on top. And let's be clear—there was no bashing involved. Everything I posted was positive, humorous, and motivating. My ex was fully aware of what I was doing and even encouraged it.
But here’s the funny part: once people realized that I was thriving, the blessings were pouring in, and my family was doing just fine, the concerned texts stopped. The same folks who seemed so worried when there was nothing to worry about haven’t sent a single message to congratulate me on my success, the success of my kids, or anything else. Meanwhile, those who understood what I was doing, knew I was okay, and just minded their business, continued to send regular, encouraging messages, checking in without any messiness. They understood who I am, what I was doing, and that it was all for a greater purpose.
So what does that tell you?
