The Finale

Every good play, musical, movie, book has a great finale. An exclamation point telling you it is time to go home or turn off the light and go to sleep.

Today was The Finale with S. I know, I know - I said that in my July 2nd post. But this time it is real. It is real because I was the one who did it. I told him I can't be his friend. And what did I get in return? A big, hearty "fuck you."

Charming.

But the real question is this - how do I feel? I feel good. I took the appropriate steps to remove something from my life that was crippling me. This was the breakthrough I referred to yesterday. I was finally able to take the steps necessary to stop this cycle.

I'm free. I'm alone. I'm happy.

Take care, dear readers.

In her own words:

I am very open with my friends and relatives. To a point. I have always kept something back. I've always put a happy face on something. I've always lied. I lie easily, effortlessly, believably. I'm good at it. That is a terribly sad thing to know about yourself.

I am sorta/kinda dating someone right now. I don't remember ever having lied to him. I'd say never, but like I mentioned - I lie effortlessly. I was on my way to his house the other night. And I had decided I would lay the final piece bare for him. And I was terrified. Mortified. This is actually the piece of my life that is the least telling of my character (at least in my opinion) - my financial situation. But just thinking about it paralyzed me, freaked me out, stressed me out. And yet I was still ready to do it. I want to be fully open, nothing to hide with this person. And this was the final piece.

The way the evening worked out I did not get to it. I think I lost my nerve. I'm sure I lost my nerve.

What would he say if he knew? I mean I've told him enough to know a little bit of it - it's not like I've had a car repossessed or I've been evicted or anything.

I don't know - but this last hurdle will have to be met. Not for him, not for the sorta/kinda relationship but for me.

Take care, dear reader. I'll be working on telling the truth...
