when you left me i learned how to survive on my own. which i so desperately needed. when you left i learned how to make myself happy. i learned how to wake up and be generally okay with the life i was living. i learned who i was. i’m the life of the party. i’m an extrovert who loves all types of people. i learned how to love and how not to. i learned that i don’t need anybody to sing me to sleep or distract me when i’m sad. i learned how to cope with the harsh realities of life. and for that i’m forever thankful.
