Tom was rude to me again today.

I thought I’d see if he wanted to pick Annie up from school with me. He got angry over the silliest thing, bared his teeth at me like a dog, snatched a piece of paper out of my hand, and practically spat his words out at me. But that’s a good thing. It confirms to me that my decision was absolutely 100% the right one.

He simply is not a nice person, and I don’t need that anymore.

Tonight, I reminded myself that I have to let go of him once and for all. I told myself that I have now experienced pain, anger, being treated selfishly and a whole host of other things, and that I wanted some new lessons to learn – some kinder ones.

I want to be open to experiencing something new now, and the only way to do it is to really let him go. 

We’re done.
