As I swallow my pride and curl my fists, I wear the most convincing smile and say hello. It stings my tongue, but I need to end the drama.

I have come to know that we are all heartbreakers one way or another. You pushed me out of my own circle. I alienated you. It's exhausting. I can't do this anymore. I have to take a chance and try to climb a different mountain. I know I am no special snowflake, but I know I once touched the stars. I need to step back, take care of myself and wish you well.
