We’re Done

Dear Debt,

We’re done.

Like, so over.

I am sick and tired of your excuses. You are lazy and soul sucking and can’t do a damn thing yourself.

I’m tired of holding your hand and getting nothing in return.

I’m tired of even looking at you.

When I look at you, I feel consumed by you. I can’t see myself any more. Who was I without you?

I told myself that I was doing the right thing by being with you. I believed all your little lies. I was going to change my life for you. I even thought about having kids, the white picket fence, marriage — all those things, just for the opportunity of being with you.

Now, I have to defend myself when people ask why we’re together. People think I’m an idiot. It’s like I can see it in their eyes.

You were with him?

They know I’m too good for you and I still found myself in this mess.

But with blog as my witness, you will never see my face again. I’ve made my decision.

I’m ready to #DumpDebt

Your soon-to-be-ex,

Melanie
