How am I so happy after such an overload of shitty news? I can’t even begin to explain it.

For months I told myself I was too weak to leave him. He didn’t treat me good, but hey, no one would or could treat me better.

In the words of Britney Spears:

“There’s nothing you can do or say, baby
I’ve had enough
I’m not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won’t make it on my own
But now I’m…

Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My lonliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger

That I ever thought that I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow
Didn’t really care ‘bout me
You might think that I can’t take it, but you’re wrong
‘Cause now I’m…

Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My lonliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger

Here I go, on my own
I don’t need nobody, better off alone
Here I go, on my own now
I don’t need nobody, not anybody
Here I go, alright, here I go

Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My lonliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger”

Who would have ever guessed that a Britney Spears song could mean so much to me?

I honestly am so much stronger than I ever thought I could be. So much happier than I ever imagined.

As twisted as it is, I’m thankful that he treated me so poorly and cared so little so that I could recognize a cad in the future. Bigger and better things await me.
