By Now

I’m sure by now she has realized I have cut her off. No more Facebook. No Instagram. No TikTok. No Twitter. And yes, I blocked her number. And her sisters. And her sisters friend. 

I don’t associate with, never mind be friends with, people that commit acts of violence against others. I can forgive her, for she must be sick in the head. I cannot however stick around to see what she will do next. To me or anyone else. 

I put up with her bullshit for so many years. The absolute ridiculousness of it all… Thirty Five years of friendship up in smoke because at the age of 42, she doesn’t understand the word no. 

NO I don’t love you like that. NO I don’t want to have sex with you. NO I don’t want you to do that to me. NO  I don’t want to live and work with you. NO… NO.
