Whew! I'm glad THAT'S over!
You know that feeling you get when you've been dragged around like a little puppy dog for what seems like an eternity? Well, that's what I feel like. My energy is off, but I've been waiting for the guy on the corner to come clean my windows for a long time now and whoa. I can see.
It's a bittersweet feeling though, honestly. It saddens me and makes me feel like I've been walking around with blinders on and then out of nowhere, someone just walked right up to me and snatched them off, slapped me in the face and shouted "WAKE UP, YOU DUMBASS!"
To quote a line from one of my favorite movies, and uh, I don't think it's going to be verbatim, but what the hell, you'll get the idea. " 1500 years ago we knew that the sun was the center of the universe. 500 years ago we knew that the earth was flat. 15 minutes ago, you knew that we were alone on this planet. Just imagine, what you'll know tomorrow."
40 years ago, i found out what a best friend was. About 15 years later, I knew what a best friend wasn't. For the past nearly 30 years I knew what a best friend was. 3 days ago, I found out what a best friend wasn't.
Love and trust can be blind and what you allow is what will continue. Well, kids, as of those 3 days ago, I will no longer allow it to continue.
My sincerest and deepest apologies to those along the way who tried to show me what I refused to see. I only wished I'd seen it sooner.
I'm not sad. I'm not angry for me. I'm angry for someone who I will give up everything for to keep them from having to wake up in 30 years and realize they were wrong.
As for me, like the title says, Whew! I'm glad THAT'S OVER!
