You said I must eat so many lemons

It's finally completely over. It was messy, drawn out, and heart breaking. I came away, not necessarily stronger but rather, more confident. I know now, more than ever, what I want in a relationship and for once I'm not in a rush to find it. It will come in due time and it will be incredible. My dignity was not lost despite it's hanging on by a thread for three months.I'm more thankful for my friends than ever and they all deserve a pat on the back for putting up with me during this period.I have peace now and I'm okay with being alone. I just got too tired of clinging on by my finger tips to a situation that was never going to get better, my hands are sore but my heart is healing and I know now that everything is going to be okay.
