Oh Lola, I feel the same way...I don't always say it bc those who have already 'healed' sometimes question why I would still care about him at all, but I do...
I am glad you are able to bounce back and recover more quickly. The part about growing and knowing yourself better is something I can totally relate to. I mean I'd rather not have gone through this, but I definitely am more aware of my wants/needs from a relationship and from my life in general now...
