YAY! 25! A thread to applaud your work.

I remember when you told me (way back when) that the reason H hadn't returned was cuz he was
a-I hadn't changed and he believed that our relationship would be the same
or
b-he was worried that he wasn't ready to be in the relationship (fear of failure).

Well I realized that it was B! And I took your advice and worked on MYSELF because I couldn't make him feel more secure about my changes than I was already doing. And that's when I started working harder on detaching.

It took me more than the time I expected but I finally got the point where I was happy and if he decided to live his life with someone else, I would STILL be happy!

My life is not contingent on HIM! It's all ME!! I make myself happy!

Thank you 25!
