Notice the FLAIR? Yes, stranger. That's what we have become and most likely that is where it will stay.

Why?

Bc I thought I knew all of you, but as it turns out. I have no idea who you are anymore.

I have shown all of you love at wholesale. Many times unconditionally and abundantly. I was there for ALL of you.

And what happened?

You disrespected me. You came after my stability, identity, and ability to love. You never gave back. And, you either didn't listen or chose to ignore MY triggers. I put all my cards on the table and told you EXACTLY how one can hurt me. And, you did just that.

Some of you weren't malicious in your maledy, but the inappropriate unnecessary behaviors continued.

What hurt the most is you directed right at me and were unapologetic in your violations.

Through the matriculation of pain and resolution, a new man has arised.

Cry foul Scream abandonment Place blame Take no accountability Smear me Give me silent treatment Try to erase me in all ways

This man no longer cares about your nonsensical hurtful ways. I told you you cannot hurt me. You're never getting in or close. I promise you that!

Go ahead, do your worst!

I know who I am and my potential. You will never ha e what I have and it tears you apart inside.

Good.

You've earned your anguished like I've earned my emancipation.

So, thanks for the learning lessons.

There is only one thing more glorious than the personal growth I've gain from your existence in my life....

Your absence.
