The End

Well, it's done.

My relationship I mean. My long-distance relationship of nearly 6 years is finished.

I'm not as broken up about it as one would expect, because I think I felt like it was over months ago. It was only made official last night, but for me, it's been over for a long time. I learned a lot from him. I learned to set boundaries with people who used to run me over. I learned to trust someone completely; something I had never previously been able to do. I learned to allow others to be themselves, and to accept them that way. I learned to value my modesty and my body, and share it only with those who truly deserve it.

I also learned that I can never again open myself completely to someone. When I do so, I overwhelm them and swallow them whole with my looming depression and insecurity. People cannot handle me at 100 proof. I must always be diluted.
