No matter how many times you say and say you don’t miss him
        the warmth of his arms around you will still remind you of the  
        very first time he told you he loved you.

And even though your same day is repeated over and over you are still    
        allowed to feel the uncanny joy at the cleansing feeling of a new day  
        that the near hour you spend in the shower brings.

Remember, that if you're happy, your friends should be too, and they can
        be and they cannot be. But so can you, the validity of your    
        happiness is never reflected in the reactions of others and you can
        still be a blushing bride regardless of whether or not you are
        blushing or a bride as long as you feel that way.

Now, you don’t ever have to live your life based on the opinions of others
        and if they stare they stare and you should feel nothing but life
        because you’re you and you’re living it despite someone who told
        you no.

And when Christmas time comes around be happy, or sad, or angry or
        whatever you want because emotions mean you're feeling and feeling
        whatever way you are means you're experiencing and if experiencing
        makes you happy then do so and even if it doesn’t do so anyway.

To be honest I can’t believe anyone’s truly lived without taking risks but
        then again maybe they have but is that really living? There’s nothing
        wrong with making the first move and if he’s not manly enough to
        do so please show him how woman you can be.

And Next time you look at yourself in the mirror and don’t like what you
        see change it! Put in on, make it bigger, cut it off because no one else’s
        opinion really matters other than your own and until your reflection    
        reflects that happiness you long to see don’t stop.

Remember to congratulate your friends and your enemies and everyone
        so that when you’ve accomplished something bigger — and you will
        accomplish something bigger—  they’ll have a basis on which to act
        upon.

Finally take every time he put you down as a victory meaning he feels
        threatened by what you’ve accomplished, forgive him every time he
        does though but make him work every time more so.

Spend every moment together as if it were your last because life’s too
        short to wait around for him to pick up the slack and know that he
        may be mad when you do, but he’ll always prefer it over losing you,
        so be happy, be sad, be hopeful, be mad because happiness is
        what you make it.
