the thing that hurt most wasn't the cheating. it was realizing how many times I ignored my own intuition because I loved her. i kept choosing her explanations over my instincts until there was no denying the truth anymore
The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast. Bad conversation? Move on. Bad day? Start fresh tomorrow. Missed workout? Hit it the next day. Poor decision? Learn and adjust. You can't control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.
