NG making a comeback after a year with a big IG post, even though the damage has already been done and there have already been consequences 👍

He should never have come back imho. He's just needlessly rubbing salt in the wound.

I had a hard time swallowing my pride just to keep you. In the end, you left me scathed in your own delusions.

“Anger and resentment take energy. They take a physical toll. In my view, they do more harm to the person carrying them than to anyone else. Anger can raise your blood pressure, increase stress hormones and increase your risk for heart disease over time. Not to mention the mental energy spent hating someone.”

“You don't have to forget every wrong or excuse bad behavior. The point is to not let bitterness take over your life. I have always felt it is healthier to move forward, to stay interested in other people, and to focus your energy on the things that give life meaning.”
