Wrote this in my journal tonight. Just wanted to share it. I'm so thankful for all the great friends I've made on here, who give a rat's. I don't know what I would have done these last few months without all of you. Let's hope this sticks..........


Somewhere along the way, I lost sight of myself because I was so fixated on you.

Somewhere along the way, I forgot who I was and what I wanted.

Somewhere along the way, you became more important than what I wanted.

Somewhere along the way, your needs and wants were considered greater than mine, by you. Your constant anger with life consumed us both.

I've come to the place in the path where I can pick "all about you" again or I can find out who I really am and what I really want out of my life and my relationships, letting you fall by the wayside.

And I've come to the conclusion that it's not all about you and that I am a person too. That I don't deserve to be used or abused, physically or mentally, anymore. That I deserve love and respect and kindness.

So I choose to let your memory die out, like a flame that's not fed anymore. This way, you have no power to consume me or burn me ever again. I'll use my energy for myself.

Somewhere along the way, I chose myself and my own needs. A new path. A new life. Without you.

Somewhere along the way, I got smart.
