!["A Runaway's Manifesto"
I'd rather be comfortable being alone than surrounded by people that make me uncomfortable just being myself.
I had to become okay with this and work on myself, before I could feasibly add new people into the mix of my life.
I had to break myself apart to rebuild my entire existence.
However, I have begun to remember vital pieces i'd once lost.
Things that needed to stay hidden, that now may finally be sorted.
I've found I am now ready for some of life's finer challenges, all of which I had used to think I would never gain such stability to have, before.
Now that my foundations are solid, nothing can tear me down, beyond them.
Because -this- time...
-I- built them.
I tore learned judgement down, and stripped it of all it's power.
I sanitized the walls, once drenched in hate.
I did not lose my rage.
I simply tamed it.
My rage will never die.
To those who, in my prior life, sought to fill my head with lies, pain, and an overwheling fear of the unknown?
My memories of you will fade, too, in time.
I will continue to build anew, not in spite of you, but from the absence of you, ever-poisining me, as you did.
Evil is not born.
It is learned.
And yes... I know.
You may watch me, even now, from the shadows.
As you have been known to lurk, uninvited.
I see the ghosts of you merely as one may view a spider, in passing:
"You get a pass, for now. But if I ever see you again, I have a slipper with your name on it."
Truly, I wish you the best, in this life.
I hope you find peace.
I hope your wounds heal.
And I hope you learn from your mistakes.
Because, if -I- can do it, i'm sure as Hell you can, too.
:]
*****
For the new year, my resolution is this:
To speak with honesty.
Even through fear.
Not even the ghosts of you can hurt me, anymore.
Cheers~🥂✨
