Last night I was feeling totally bummed about all the problems that L. had caused. I felt like she had ruined my life. What makes me feel worse is that I allowed her to do it.  Dawne enlightened me.  She is right.  Why be unhappy?  Why give that girl credit where it isn’t due?  If I continue thinking about all the lies and fucked up things she did, I will only be letting her win.

I’m still young, so I will eventually find someone who will be my support.  I am not going to think about that anymore.  I will think about the people and things that I am thankful for: my children, family, friends, health, career, and life.    I cried and cried last night, but Dawne made everything ok.  I woke up in a different mood.

I feel happy, refreshed, and alive.  I haven’t felt this free since 2006.  I will pretend that I am starting my thirties today.  No more crying, whining, complaining, harassing, or thinking about people who don’t do anything but make me sad.  It’s time I reclaim my life.  I’m not dead, so I will be fine.  I never again will think about those two people again.
