Maybe if you want to soften it just a tad change this statement very, very slightly:

"I chose not to surround myself with people that have hurt me"

to

"I chose not to surround myself with people that hurt me"

To me the first one seems like you have decided you will never be around her again since she has hurt you. Almost like you would never forgive her. Make sense?

I'd for sure wait for some vets to weigh in, though! As always, you're doing amazing.
