My defining moment, for my last chapter at least, was the day I left your house listening to The Beatles "don't pass me by"

"you never know it hurt me so ill hate to see you go don't pass me by don't make me cry"

That's when I finally realized that staying with anybody who continually treats me poorly was simply me being harmful towards myself and I decided that it was time to make this a better life and break the cycle of abuse. It's almost hard to believe it's already been years.

I'm loving my life and myself more than ever!
