She told me I was going to die alone
She was right.
I had a girlfriend that would tell me I would die alone, and she said it one last time as she walked out on me.
I felt a sting, and then I turned back to the screen
to continue playing my video game…
that painful feeling quickly dissipated as I took myself back into a different world.
She was right, she was watching me drown for years.
I created a way out, I stopped the unconscious pull to this vice. It was the hardest drug for me to walk away from,
and to this day I think that harsh statement she said with tears rolling down her cheeks, saved my future.
As both of our hearts were breaking, I stayed glued to other lives in other worlds so I didn’t have to process my pain in this one.
So, to the woman that pushed me to save my future,
and you know who you are,
thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It still took me another decade to get out,
yet those words didn’t leave my sight…
