Remember how my dad was always up my *** asking where I’d been? How we’d sneak away and fall in love under the moon like it was just ours? Remember how I couldn’t even stay the night, not even at a friend’s place? **** how times have changed. Now I leave the house whenever I want. I live wherever I want. My amazing friends, like family, are back in my life, some married, some buying homes, some always on a plane somewhere. Life’s changed so much for them, and it has for me too. I’m still growing, still figuring it out. Not quite where I want to be yet, but I’m getting there financially and emotionally. And for once, I’m happy. I really hope you are too. There’s this new man in my life. It’s still fresh, but it feels like I’ve known him forever. Remember how I said I might never love anyone like I loved you? Well, he gives me those giddy feelings just by looking at me, and honestly, that’s pretty scary. Two years I chose myself after walking away from a toxic life. I never thought I’d be alone that long, but it was the most healing thing I’ve ever done. I like him. He likes me. It’s scary, but I’m ready. Ready to love someone more than I ever did love you. I meant it when I said I’m over you, and I’ve made peace with everything we were. You played a part in who I am today. So yeah, I’m happy. And I hope you are too.
