30-Day Blog Challenge: Day 7 - A Letter to Your Ex-boyfriend/love/crush

*deep breath, silent prayer*

To whom it may concern,
I've chosen to write this message collectively, as each experience has led to this place. For a time after each of us separated, I held on to sadness, anger, hurt and shame. I was sad that things that seemed so wonderful would never be again. Angry that I once again allowed myself to trust only to be let down. Hurt that someone i cared for so much would cause me such pain. Ashamed that I held on a minute longer than I should have. Although all of these things were my issues, I placed the blame for them all on you.

As time passed, I began to take responsibility for my role in these situations. I could have walked away long before things came to a head. I stayed to long, wanted more than each of you could give, and wanted to be loyal when some showed no loyalty in return. Thats the way it goes sometimes. But as I've stated all of the things I disliked, but you all had some amazing qualities that drew me to you in the first place.

I thank you all for lifting me up, making me feel more beautiful each day, giving me strength when I felt weak. Being there at times when no one else would. I appreciate it. The nights out on the town, trips around the world, and time spent hanging out in front of the tv. I appreciate it all. By taking the best parts of each of you, I know what I want and don't want in the future. I know what feels good and what feels bad. I thank you for it. Without the good and the bad that each of you brought into my life, I wouldn't be the woman that I am. Stronger, smarter, more in love with myself. The woman ready to give all of the love I gave to each of you and more to the man who will finally deserve to have it. I have no regrets, because each moment was part of God's Divine plan for my life. I embrace it fully. I wish you all happiness, joy, and love. Enough of each to change your lives and make you receptive to real, pure, unconditional love.

Love you all,
Lexi
