And then there was Beaut. He gets his own special page as he was the first, and only guy, to have stuck around for several months, during my 6 years as a single girl. Many of my stories involve him, most of which are hilarious. Also, because he made an impact, both positive and negative – I learned a LOT about myself through him. I’m grateful for this chapter in my life, and I look forward to taking the lessons learned and applying them in a positive manner as I move forward.

I believe we’ve finally hit the end of the Beaut saga. After one lie too many, one unnecessary betrayal, I’ve unfriended him on all social media accounts, blocked him on Messenger, cried my last tears and moved on. He unfollowed my blog.

C’est la vie. There will be others.

Addendum: Closure and forgiveness.
