A Bitter Pill

Source

I remember a relationship I went into with Vincent, a nursery school friend I reconnected with during NYSC camp. At first, it felt like fate had tied a neat bow on our story, everything flowed so smoothly, and I thought I had found my person.

But the sweetness didn’t last. I soon discovered he wasn’t faithful. Still, I loved him deeply, so I fought for what we had. I forgave him, sent him relationship tapes to watch, preached the beauty of commitment, and tried every possible way to steer him right.

Yet, no matter how much effort I poured in, Vincent kept walking the opposite path. Eventually, I had to let go. The relationship had failed or rather, he had failed it.

Accepting that ending was a bitter pill to swallow, especially after working so hard to keep it alive.

The sad thing about all this is the wasted time. I wish you a happy weekend.

Sometimes we have to be sad in the short term to be happy in the future! You would have been miserable for ever with someone who didn't appreciate you for who you are. Thanks for your Freewrite!
