The New Me

It's been well over a year now, and over two years since its beginning. I'm glad, but mainly relieved. To think I put up with such strain, pain, and disdain; crazy. I'm listening to the song "Slowly, Surely" by Jill Scott, which so happens to be the song that reverberates that entire situation. I've learned to love myself over the past year. I've really strived to put myself first, and I think I've succeeded. Instead of sweating "minor posing as major" situations, I just walk away. It's as simple as that. I went through hell so much with that one person, I couldn't do it anymore. In all of my relationships of the past, I put myself last. Not anymore. In my new and improved relationship, I have put my instincts above all else. If I even feel a slight rumble develop, I confront it, improve it, and move on. So, I guess I mainly wanted to address how well "the new me" is working for...ME :).
