Five days have elapsed since I bade farewell to you. I have to be honest with you. It was with a sense of relief that I have finally parted way with you.
You have not been good to me. In the beginning, you treated me well and I was beginning to think that you were a godsend. But you revealed your true colours midway.
How can I forget all the broken promises and the setbacks that you sent my way! And two third of the way into our relationship, you chose to stab me with the devastating news. Oh, how blind I have been to trust you so much!
I said goodbye to you with hope, anticipation and wonder. I bade farewell to you with self-awareness and cognizance of where I need to go in the future. I said goodbye to the times you caused me so much pain.
Now that we have gone separate ways, I am going to rebuild my life without you. I am going to examine what happened to me when you were with me -the good things you did, and more importantly, the shitty things you did.
I will be at once kind to myself and hard on myself. I will forgive myself for all the mistakes I made, but learn from them. I will give those mistakes meaning so that they didn’t happen for nothing.
I have started a relationship with someone new. My relationship with this someone new will expose me to all the wonderful possibilities, dreams, and opportunities that are waiting to manifest themselves to me.
I enter this new relationship with unclouded eyes and an open heart. May the force be with me as I start this relationship with 2016!
