i am strong .
i let go of that past .
i am not excusing you .
i will always remember .
i do not require an apology .
i do not expect you to change .
i believe your truth will come to you .
i know forgiveness is just for me .
i affirm my healing journey .
i wish you well henceforth .
i gave my time to time .
i release you forever .
i free myself now .

with my fears {financial, relationship, creative, social} to start desensitizing myself in 2007.
and to this day, i look these phantoms in the face,
i don’t avoid them or
run from them or

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.~Virginia Woolf
