  • it's okay it's hard but today seems better;
    now I know that he don't want me in his life anymore.
    He's made his choice and I gotta live with that; no matter if i still love him or not. I'll move on.

    I just brought some new clothes without feeling guilty; I'm finally becoming who I want.
    I really just want to "start my lie over" - Even if it means changing my style.

    By the way I am saving money i just needed a little retail therapy.
    And a top, hair clips and jacket i brought was in the sale! lol Save about £20 all together
