What inspired you to write this book?
Oh goodness, well I was going through a really hard time with the man who was my best friend, he betrayed me to core and I need to release the pain. I started writing all the things I hated about him and it was disheartening. So when I wrote out a plan for myself to help heal my broken heart, it lead into this book within three months.
This is an amazing, heartfelt title. Why did you choose this title?
After all the writing, I went back to read what I wrote as if it was the first time I read it. I was so emotional reading this, but I was so liberated. It felt like a thousand bricks were lifted off my chest. Heartbreak breaks you down to the core, you feel emotions and pain you never knew existed within you unless it’s physical. So when the hurt stopped, I realized this person who I thought was my soulmate, was a lesson. And for that I thought “I should thank him for helping me dodge a bullet!” Something I thought was a curse turned into a blessing.
What is your purpose with ‘Get Over Your Ex: Thank Him for Leaving You?’
I want women to know their is life after the pain. I want to help them heal their hearts and feel whole again to be ready for anything, including opening up to love again. In less than a month, she can be ready to deal with new challenges with a positive sense of emotional balance that she may never had before. With my book, it is possible to not only survive a breakup but to emerge from one as an even stronger, empowered woman.
What should we expect from you, Tawanna L Myles, the new author?
You make me sound so important, thank you. Well, I have three more books I plan on adding to my resume. I have so much to say that has been bottled up inside me. Now that I have had the taste of authorship, I want to write more books that will help women live the lives they deserve. I am learning this thing called life as well, and I want to take the world on my journey while it helps inspire women to be more and do more and not let their circumstances dictate their future.
So your book is called ‘Get Over Your Ex: Thank Him for Leaving You.’ Have you personally “thanked” your ex yet?
That’s a really funny question. A few have asked me that. And the answer is yes…in my head a million times. But personally…no! I have to deal with him because he is my son’s father, but it will be too soon if I never see him again. I have forgiven him for what he has done, because I realize none of us are perfect and we all mistakes. However, I’d rather move past this, knowing my heart is open for love again and appreciate him from afar for teaching me some valuable lessons about love, self-love, and forgiveness.
