So this year, I had planned on not celebrating my birthday at all but as it turns out, the universe decided to spin an unexpected twist in my storyline. Thanks to all the wonderful people in my life who stubbornly insist on loving me. My birthday ended up to be a week-long celebration because I have been blessed with beautiful friends who never leave even when I am in my most unlovable state. You know who you are. Thank you for taking me out to dinner and for showing me that ...Life truly is beautiful and that opening my heart to love again is not such a bad idea.
There had been a lot of weird twists to this story, most of which were brought about by crazy antagonists. But some stories open the door for something more. And then there are fairytale endings where the girl gets her prince. And endings that turn you introspective about your own life and your place in the world. And then there’s the ending that you saw coming a mile away and yet somehow still takes you by surprise. But my story isn’t ending. I'm just at the start of a brand new chapter.

FORGIVENESS
A very wise man once told me, "FORGIVENESS is the sweetest revenge." I never really understood the poignancy of this statement until today. This morning I woke up very light-hearted for some reason. And then I realised, I am no longer angry. The resentment is gone. If anything, I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry that he's still holding such unpleasant emotions towards me. And after all this time, he's still bound by his addiction to the drama. And that he still feels the nee...d to bother me and continuously slander my name to everyone.
But as of this moment, I am officially removing myself from this negative energy that he constantly throws at me. I am freeing myself from him. NO MORE DRAMA. The AVO hearing is his last attempt to control me but I'm done. I'm finally happy again. Truly. I felt it this weekend. I'm ready to open up again.
A friend of mine once said, "Remember, you don't forgive someone for his or her sake - you forgive them for your sake." Well, true that! And on that note, I just read that as "sake", the drink. I think that means it's time for me to get some sushi.
