I am not too proud to admit that I caved and called him. I am not too proud to admit that I was weak. I am not too proud to admit that it was selfish. I am a different person now.

I have learned a tremendous much this past month. A wonder what a month can do. In a strange way this break up was the perfect graduation present: here I can mark the end of one life and the beginning of a new life. With this break up I shed the skin of a girl who could not stand independently and I celebrate a brand new woman who is not only confident, but kind, and unashamed of her feelings. I appreciate life and the people in it as I never have before.

I am ready for my new life.

I am ready to kick ass. And - as they say - to take names while doing it.
