I never imagined living my life without you.

I miss you.

I see you every day.

I see you everywhere I go.

People said you weren’t good for me.

Leaving you wasn’t easy, but I needed to find out for myself.

The first few days were so difficult.

I felt so miserable leaving you.

I couldn’t sleep.

I was always tired.

I lost my energy.

All I wanted to do was sleep.

I was so cold at night.

I questioned myself wondering if I had made the right decision.

You used to make me so happy.

I constantly had to remind myself to be strong.

I had to tell myself to keep going.

I continued to allow myself to remember the good times.

Gosh, we had so many good times!

I knew things would get better.

I knew each passing day would bring unexpected blessings.

I knew with time everything would fall into place.

I am beginning to realize I’m different without you.

Good, different!

Happier!

More free!

More creative!

I’m reinventing myself!

My soul is thriving in a way I never thought possible!

It’s only been eight days…

Eight roller coaster days.

I look back and realize it felt like eternity.

But now I know I don’t need you.

I can go on without you.

But now how do I say goodbye?

How can I forget cheese burgers and fajitas?

How do I let go of mozzarella?

How do I tell my chips they won’t be seeing queso anytime soon?

Eight days down, twenty-two days to go.
