Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I can't think of it like that anymore. I've had a good night's sleep, even if my dreams were bothersome, and I've soaked in a hot bath for a while. And I've thought about this. Long and hard.
I don't think it's running away. Running Away is when you try and escape from something you can't handle. I don't think that's what this is. I'm not running. I've thought about this decision for a long time now. And breaking away is not running.
I have shed away another layer that I don't need, another that is only making me decay. I am walking away, of my own free will, because I do not want to be around a person like that. Running Away is weak. I am not weak. I have had the strength to shed that layer, and as I walk, those layers will slowly fall away, and what will be left will not be dead. I will not be decayed. I will be a strong, powerful individual, confident in who I am, and I am glad that I had the experience because I have grown from it.
Thank you, to you that have helped me grow. Thank you, to you who have helped me gain confidence enough to know when to break away. Thank you, to those that have supported me in my time of need. Thank you, to you who have helped me to realize when enough is enough. And thank you, to me, for finding that inner strength and that courage to actually do what I did.
