Hope you had a good night broke. S does not need updates on what your doing with your life. Keep it up.
As for the friends thing. I see it like this. If I had a friend that hurt and treated me the way S did/does. Would I be friends with them? Ummmm no. Wanting to be friends is their way of either stringing you along or making themselves feel better about what they are doing.
I am happy for the board too, I'm pretty sure the board is happy to have you as well
The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so make yourself as interesting as possible.
