Quick personal rambling /ignore/

So my friend; someone with whom I’ve been through an incredible amount of hardships; someone with whom I had a very toxic relationship; the only person who had ever really hurt me.. has finally acknowledged their past wrongdoings, and came up to me full of remorse for everything that had ever happened, wishing they could go back and do everything differently; they approached me full of gratitude for everything that.. as they say.. I had taught them.. they came to me with these realizations months after I had stopped caring about them, loving them. I’ve moved on. 

This was quite a strange situation. I was almost surprised to see it happen. I’ve already had my closure, but this occurrence has been quite interesting.. even memorable. They say they wish we could go back to the way we were, but coming from my side, that can’t happen. They remain somewhat of a friend, but things have changed. I’ve changed. Besides, I love another person now. Someone who is willing to give as much as they take, who deserves to be the most important person in my life.. and having someone like that by your side, being a part of a healthy relationship for a change, has been.. liberating.
