Accomplishments

Now she's the one laughing. Dammit, I let my anger get ahead of me. Just calm down Grace, it'll all be fine. It's ok. Just calm down, that'll piss her off even more.

"So how does my name taste now?" Her laugh isn't sweet like Laureen's. I used to think so, but now I realize it's just another evil cackle. Don't let her words get to you, she's wrong.

"More bitter than I thought." Numb yourself like always Grace, she'll hate it. Don't let her win. You're stronger than this.

"Now that's more like it. My name makes you suffer. That's good, you finally get what you deserve." She spits more words over the phone. Not today satan.

"Who says it hurts? I know you're the one that acted repulsively. We both know you're the one who was hurt. Hurt people end up hurt people, but that doesn't justify what they do. You can't exactly cut it out completely, but you know I wasn't trying to. It just wasn't working out. You knew that and you took advantage of the situation. That's what's not ok." Did I just do what I think I did? I just stood up to my ex. I couldn't stand up to her before, and now I'm calling her out for her bullshit. When did this happen? It sort of feels better than making her mad. It's almost like a part of me has been put to peace. I'm almost pound of myself.

"Like you're the one to talk." After that, I hear a beep. She ended the call. Thank God and good riddance.

I take a sigh of relief, but I don't put my phone down quite yet. I feel a little daring, so I go to the number. BLOCKED. More sighs of relief. Now I put my phone down, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I kind of feel free. But I know that freedom is limited, like everything in this life.

Now that I'm laying there on my bed, nothing to do, I think to myself. Like I always do. Old memories come back. Usually, the bad ones come back, leading me to have a panic attack. I'll be laying on the floor, gasping for air. All alone. But I don't think of that, it's not important right now. For once, I'm putting my mental health first. I feel like I've made accomplishments today. Well, it's early in the morning so I haven't done much technically.

I start to drift off, remembering the good things of where I last lived. There's not a lot of good things that came out of that place, but I'm thankful for the few things that are. Like that time I went to the movies with Megan, Cayden, Brooke, and Liam. That was a lot of fun. We saw an old classic. I remember the theatre there would often play classic movies, that a lot of people often liked, for very cheap. We'd go there in the summer and get snacks. Those were pretty cheap there too, it wasn't a very big town. But then I remembered something about Megan. She was an element in the argument with McKayla, the one we broke up over. The truth is, I liked Megan. Not McKayla. But, do I still like her?
