Last time.

I officially found out tonight the person i was with for 3 years who cheated on me is with the girl they cheated on me with. And even though i assumed it this whole time, i cried. But for the last time. I dont think it was a coincidence the same day i declare a new space, this happens. Im glad someone (accidentally, in their drunkenness) told me. Im glad someone finally cut the last string. Im glad someone gave me closure. So i cried one last time. One last time crying for the people I lost who i thought were friends. People who I thought would hold and support me, but didnt. One last time. One last time for the family i was building. One last time to mourn in laws and children and houses and dogs and and and One last time for the person i thought i knew. Who not only hurt me. Abused me. One last time to that pain never being recognized. One more to the person who became someone i don't recognize and never will again. One last time. For the person i lived for, instead of living for myself. One last time for being lied to and made to feel crazy and feeling ashamed of what happened to me. I dont care anymore. Not the kind of not care thats angry, but thats at peace. Im done feeling embarrassed about what someone else did to me. Or feeling like i had to make myself so so so very small when theyre walking around without a second thought. Im through hiding. Im through pretending. Im so so glad i got told theyre together. Because now i can finally be finished with it all and live my beautiful life. And love again. And love me. And as silent as ive been i wanted to fuckin say this. Im free.

My current WIP as the cool ig artists say. This is for my dad. A sketch of him and i. We didnt get along like, at all growing up. He was a hard military man and i was his hard headed daughter. Over time he softened and learned how to love me wholly. And i forgive him for the in-between and love him too. Hes taught me so much. All the long lectures stuck, the repetitive phrases i thought were so annoying play in my mind to this day: "You gotta think big picture, kala" "Always research it" "One day you gon' see" And my favorite childhood one: Him: "who loves you?" Me: "daddy."
