#theSW30 :Day 15.

*Narrate a conversation between you and someone in your life who you never had closure with (a friend, an ex, a family member, etc.) What would you say? What would they say? What outcome would you hope for?

Me: Hey! How have you been?
Ex-BF: Good. How are you?
Me: I'm alright. Just busy with college.  Could I ask you something?
Ex-BF: Sure.
Me: Why did you decide to go out with me?
Ex-BF: Well, because I think you're smart and nice and pretty. And you make me happy-
Me: Okay, so I want you to help me understand this. I don't get why we can't tell people about our relationship if I make you so happy.
Ex-BF: you know why I can't tell people.
Me:No, I don't. That's why I'm asking you to help me understand. 
Ex-BF:.........
Me: You know what? This is ridiculous. You'd think after seven years of friendship and almost two years of dating, we'd be able to have these kind of talks with not a lot of issue. I deserve someone that loves me the way I am and isn't ashamed of letting other people know about us, regardless of some not liking it. I wanted people to know about us because I love you and wanted the world to see the person that I'm proud to call my man. But you can't even do that for me. I put up with so much stuff because I wanted to be with you so bad. But, you know what? That's okay. So, thank you, Ex. Thank you for showing me what I shouldn't put up with from the person I'm dating and to expect nothing less than what I deserve.
Ex:....
Me: You know, despite all of the stuff that we went through, there were some really good parts of this ride. I'm just sad that something really beautiful had to end this way. Regardless, I don't hate you. Honestly, I don't think I can. But, I can't keep putting myself through something that is doing nothing but hurting me. I hope we can at least remain friends, but I'm done playing this game with you.
