Dear Diary,

I’m finally moving on. I yearned for him like the wife of a soldier. Every time I woke up, I would quickly grab my phone and check if he had messaged me. After what felt like thousands of years of waiting for him to come back, of waiting for his message. Today, it feels like I’ve finally woken up from a long dream. Last week, I found out he is already seeing someone new. My heart started beating really fast, my chest felt heavy, and my tears began to fall, but I smiled with both pain and joy. I’m thankful for him because he gave me a reason to leave the restaurant and explore. I’ve already forgiven him for all the pain, the heartbreak, and every tear I’ve shed. I hope he treats her right, makes her smile, and reassures her. I hope he never makes her feel the way I did. I hope he never lets her cry in the middle of the night like a helpless kitten. I hope he always checks on her and asks if she’s okay. And most of all, I hope he never treats her the way he treated me:(
