Hey, I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked. I just wanted to send a little note your way. No, I’m not writing this to complain about how you ruined my life or shattered all of my dreams. I once thought you did those things, but looking back now as a stronger woman, I realize the exact opposite is true. That’s why I’m here to say thank-you. Let me start by thanking you for being self-centered and always emotionally unavailable. Although I know I didn’t deserve that kind of treatment, it taught me to respect myself and hold higher standards when it came to choosing my next companion. You showed me the importance of looking for someone who cared for me enough to work hard, to speak with truth and kindness, and even do those things you considered “not for you” and “not fun.” I can’t help but think back to all of those times you bailed on me. I remember the sting of not being a priority in your life. I remember holding back the tears when you continuously put everyone elses needs above mine.... and I certainly remember letting them flow as I read yet another text of your broken promises. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank-you for those times, too. You may be wondering how I can truly be grateful of these things, as rotten as they were. I mostly appreciate them for reminding me of how blessed I am to have found my life again, the incredible friends that never leave my side, and a man who loves me completely and fully as a man should love a woman. He treats me like a trophy, but not something to show off to his friends that he got me, because you know what, he didnt know me as Michelle Parks and has no idea who this person was... only who she is now, and he kinda likes her.... I don’t know where you are today or what your life may look like, but I hope these past experiences have taught you a thing or two as well. My prayer and greatest hope for you is that you’ve learned the importance and value of being a real man, living a life rooted in kindness and considering others as a priority above yourself. I don’t hate you, and although I certainly can’t say I miss you anymore, only who I thought you were, I just had to set free the pain I allowed you to build in my heart so very long ago. I am letting you go so I can finally be free to let new love in.. Sincerely, Michelle
