It's Official.

Yes, that's right: It's official. Today. Finally. It's been a long time coming. Maybe a year? A bit less, but oh hasn't it been coming... full-on, full speed ahead coming. I was always debating "When?" And I thought the grieving process would be intense, but it's quite the contrary, really.

The time is now. Perhaps a few hours ago. It's over, it's done. I'm no longer going to beat the dead dog. (Or however that saying goes! LOL) I'm going to let it rest....forever. There were good times, yes, but there's no point now.... Stale bread is gross.

I thought it would be sad.... It would be so hard to just let it go and finally end it. But I'm finding more peace and confidence with each step....

So "Goodbye" to what I thought would last much longer.... "Goodbye" to what has ended so bitterly.... "Goodbye" to the heartache, confusion, and dismissal.... "Goodbye" to unfulfilled expectations.... "Goodbye" to the cage you put me in....

And "Hello" to freedom.... "Hello" to destiny.... "Hello" to the new and frustrating.... "Hello" to the willing and trusting.... "Hello" to acceptance.... "Hello" to the real me!
