In the end, my revenge was not about them at all. It was about reclaiming my life and proving to myself that I was strong enough to overcome any obstacle. I didn’t need their apologies or remorse to move forward. I had found a new sense of freedom in the knowledge that I was capable of surviving even the deepest of betrayals. They might never forget what they did, but I would never forget how it empowered me to create a life of my own design.
