I was once very bitter about our breakup. Actually I was straight up heart broken. I always wondered what went wrong. But after 2 years of not being in the relationship I thought would last forever, I have fully moved on and am happy with the person I have become. You may have texted me a few times freshly after our breakup and I chose never to respond to you. Please don't take it personally, but I knew it was for the best. I knew this was for the best because I know I wanted to move on with my life and all the hurt I was feeling inside. There were many times I wanted to respond to you but I knew that I came so far with getting over you, that replying to your messages would put me in a place I did not want to be anymore.

It took me a very long time to realize we had a toxic relationship and it was for the best we broke up. I want to thank you for making me realize I deserved better. I have now found an amazing person who loves me for everything I am. The little things I have always wanted, he gives to me. I never asked for much, but the things I did ask for, I never received. I do want you to know that I did care for you, and I know you cared for me. I think in my case, I cared a little too much and never got the care I needed back from you, and looking back at it all, I forgive you. I thank you for ending our relationship so now I know what it feels like to actually be loved by someone who cares for me just as much as I care for them. Because we ended, I have now found the man who looks at me like I am gold, which I never got from you. We are not perfect, and I choose to be imperfect because life is about making mistakes and learning from them along the way. We do have our ups and downs like we used to have in our relationship, and like any other healthy relationship, but what is different between you and him, is he never gives up on me.

There were many times and still there are times that I think the way you used to think. But my new relationship has taught me there are people who want to see you be happy and are willing to get through the tough times instead of just giving up completely. Thank you for making me realize all the things I never saw before. They always say, someone can tell you a thousand times what the "right decision" is, but at the end of the day, you need to experience it for yourself. Only you can make the call for what is right for you. We all learn from our mistakes and we move on. Now that I have moved on, I can finally say I am truly happy again. Most of all, I am happy with the strong woman I have become because of all of my hurt. I wake up everyday grateful you helped shape me into a stronger person inside and out for myself.
