Shane slowly walked to the sofa opposite me and sat down, staring at me deeply. "Don't you really want to see me?" There was a subtle tremor in his tone.

I shook my head gently, with a faint smile on my lips. "Not really, I just decided to pursue the life I really want." I know very well that the greatest punishment for a person is not hatred, but forgetfulness. I want to completely erase him from my life.

I saw my reflection in the glass of the bookcase, meticulous hair, exquisite makeup, and a smile that looked down on everything. Although the years have left traces on my face and the collagen is not as good as before, I have become more calm and confident. This confidence made Shane stare blankly. It turns out that being loved starts with learning to love yourself and not relying on the other person.
