Ruth sat with leg crossed,took an apple and started munching it. She reached for the television remote to change the channel to a daily inspiration channel.
"hello my lovelies" the presenter said with a cute voice.
"hope you achieved your dreams today?"
the presenter continued.
"okay, let's say our motto loud!!!"
"you are the controller of your life, every problem is yours no matter how others say it affects them" Ruth and the presenter said together.
Ruth smiled to herself, stood up and made her way to the backyard to feed her fish.
With headset and nodding to the beat of the music she was playing, she fed the fishes.
She loved the best start of her new life, she turned a new leaf of her life and she loved it.
A life with peace of mind without anybody stressing her.
Her past life was devoted on loving and caring for her ex husband, not knowing she was the only one in the marriage.
The husband walked out a long time alone, living her in the dark with so much frustration.
She never knew she could enjoy so much happiness looking after her health.
What a state of good mental health and body she was.
She thought she couldn't live without her husband. The torment was much, she was glad she accepted to walk away.
Initially she felt filthy, how will she face the society? They will surely mock her.
She wished they know the abuse she went through.
Her being strong overcame the society blames.
