Thank you. Thank you for teaching me how strong I can be. Thank you for teaching me that I'm bigger than a broken heart and bigger than the little opinion I had of myself when I was with you. I now know that I want someone in my life who will build me up rather than tear me down and belittle me. I want to surround myself with people who love me unconditionally for who I am, right now; not who I will be when I __________.
But most of all, I want to say I love you. Because I do. I will always love you, the same as I love everyone. With openness, grace and forgiveness. True love. Honest love. I wish you the best.
Good bye.
What would YOU like to say your ex?

Sigh. I wish I could say what you would say. My mental response is far less lady-like. Not bitchy, but "love" definitely wouldn't make it into the list of 5 things. Whoever he was, he lost out...big time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janelle. That's very kind of you to say. We definitely were not right for each other, but the pain taught me a lot. A lot about myself mostly.
DeleteLove you!
Pain is an effective teacher, unfortunately. And I love you!
DeleteOMG your new blog design is BEAUTIFUL!!! It is new, right? I saw the header and was like, love that, and then saw the cute buttons on the side!! Ooh, so pretty! I might want to get some DIY blog redesign tips from you!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for notes to my exes... yours is much kinder than mine would be. ;) Not that I'm mad at them, but mostly I just want to demonstrate that I'm doing awesome, probably better than they are, and they should be jealous. Haha! Although I don't have any long-term relationship exes since I've been with my husband off and on since we were 16. But there are some kinda meaningful friends or people I dated who I wouldn't mind running into on the street (when I'm looking fabulous, of course). I'm pretty grateful for how I've turned out so far!
Thank you! It is new, yes! I just finished designing it today :)
DeleteI love changing it up, and am pretty happy with how it looks right now. I think I'm going to give my Motormouth Studios site an overhaul soon too.
I think I'd like my exes to see how much happier and better I'm doing now too if I'm really honest with myself. Lol.
WOW! The design look SO awesome! Super excited for you!
ReplyDeleteThat being said... you are much nicer to your exes than I am to mine. Haha.. no, I really don't have much to say to my exes at all. Just, "Thanks for not being more awesome, because I met MR. FANTASTIC after you all." Teehee. I don't really think about my exes at all. Then again, it has been nearly 8 years since I've dated anyone other than my hubby.
Thanks! I super love how it turned out. I'm sure it'll be changing eventually (I tend to change a LOT and often. lol!) but I like it for now! I'm also excited to be posting more often on this blog and start getting a following here rather than using all my energy toward Motormouth Studios :)
DeleteI love that you have met Mr. Fantastic. You two are heavenly together, and together you made the most beautiful little boy. Those exes lost out though. Bummer for them ;)
This is so great! I recently wrote a short letter to my ex and sent it, forgiving him for his jerkiness (no, I didn't phrase it that way) and letting him know that he is still loved by me and that I often pray for him to find someone perfect for him. I completely know what you mean about loving your ex. He was someone special to you and, no matter how badly he treated you, he's still a human who deserves that kind of love.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I didn't hear back from my ex. Maybe his jerkiness hasn't changed. ;-)
