i know you probably didn't know you were the reason

even if your not with me anymore,
even if you don't even know i stopped
it was hard
but it was because of you.
you saved me
thank you

( 3 / 13 )I thank you for leaving me after three years. I thank for not even bothering to come back. Thank you for taking all the stuff you had at home because I wouldn’t want to see you anymore. It has been four months since you left. I didn’t realize breathing could be so much easier once you were gone. Thank you Ed for stepping out of my life cause you're not worth it. Now you’ve given me the chance to find and feel the real love we thought we had.

( 2.8 / 86 )I was in love with a married man. I tried not to fall. We worked together. We became friends and then things grew in intensity and feeling. He was 10 years my senior. He was kind and funny and saw things in me that I did not. He loved his wife but was no longer physical with her. They were exhausted from raising kids, from making ends meet. They were bored. He felt renewed in my company, as I did in his. We read to one another. We learned so much from those novels. We laughed. We really loved. I even loved his wife, his kids. But he wasn't leaving his family and he couldn't make me part of it. It ended. Painfully. So painfully. As I always knew it would. But I am grateful for every moment, every touch, every book read. How at home we were. He really saw me, knew me. We didn't make one another up. I won't let myself love another married man again, and I'm grateful for that, too.

( 3.3 / 134 )I never thought I'd get over her. I never thought I'd be happy again. I loved her for nine years. She was never satisfied with me. I moved out. I made changes. It all felt like a forced march. It was the worse kind of loneliness. But I am happy now. It took time. I feel free. I guess I'm writing today to show some gratitude to time, to the process, how simple it can be, taking it day by day.

( 2.9 / 115 )You know I was against you leaving, and yes, it was probably for all the wrong reasons. I would rather have had things stay the way they were even though I hated it. I hated that we could never go places together, that I could never call you, that you never gave me the chance... But I knew it would be worse to have nothing of you at all. You always had my back in that place, where it was so easy to fall out of step and so many waiting to pounce on you the moment you did. You always defended me. I wonder if they ever suspected?
I haven't seen you in so long now so that I know you must have changed, your perspective, your station in life, even your body. So who was right? Now can we finally say? You always said I would stop loving you, but really, you just didn’t think I was a good bet.

( 3.1 / 79 )Thanks, Benjamin, for being such a dick. You helped me to stop loving you. I needed to. For too long I wouldn't let go. Then I did, had to, and opened myself up to meet someone I'm much better suited to. So I mean it: Thank god you committed to acting like such a mean-spirited, ignorant baboon. Thank god.
