Growth

Date: 8/12/2019

It’s the end of the first day of school. I pass by my abusive ex and his friends. He begs me to come back and be with him and tells me that he’s intoxicated. I laugh in his face and tell him never again. It’s late and the sun is beginning to set so I run home since my house is walking distance. The path on the way home is overgrown w vines and flowers and trees but I eventually find my way back home happily. I wake up covered in sweat from that dream but I’m happy because it’s been one year since I’ve ended that toxic relationship.
