I've written this letter to you a thousand times at a thousand different times in my life. Sometimes it was bitter. Sometimes it was angry and full of disgust. Still always it was written with love and admiration. At times I wrote it because I missed you. Others it was written because I hated you and wanted you to hurt as I did. Mostly I wrote these letters to somehow get the feelings out from inside of me without actually telling someone and admitting how I felt. There were very few times they were actually sent. And the same will go for this one. But this one is different. I write this with no particular feeling of anger or love one way or the other. I have come to the place where I can write it out of indifference. And it's a good place to be. It's not to say that I no longer care, I will always care. But now it doesn't matter. I have moved on and been happier than I was before. You will always have a certain place in my heart and at times, thoughts of you will put a smile on my face that nobody but you would understand. But you are not the one who makes me happy anymore. I will always be grateful for the times we had, the things we shared. Even if I could, I would never go back and change anything that happened between us because I know I am a better person because of it. But the time has changed from when I would lie awake thinking of you at night, hoping you were doing the same. If I see you again someday, I wouldn't be mad, I hope the best for you in your life. I hope that you too have the happiness I know have.
But for the first time, I'd be okay with saying goodbye...
Nicole, I love this. I just went through the same process and it's a hard one to get to. I'm so so happy you told me about this blog. It makes me so happy to read more about your life. So glad you are in my life. I adore you.
