Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

I woke up this morning, got ready for work and then did my daily e-mail checking/website browsing ritual. Since I don't have much time during the work day to check my blogs, read my e-mail, etc...and since we are not allowed to go on Myspace at work, I usually only have a good 20 minutes or so to do this in the morning.

Well, anyway...when I logged into my account this morning, there was one message in my inbox. The subject simply read, "Dani." That's all. I looked at who it was from and I got a weird lump in my throat. I opened the e-mail and it was an apology from my ex-boyfriend. Now, we haven't spoken for a good 4 1/2 years or so. Naturally, I thought this was really weird. I forwarded the email to Dan (my boyfriend), since I pretty much tell him everything. I also called my best friend, Jessi and told her about it. Jessi knows my ex very well and knows everything he put me through. After all, we met through her lame ass ex-boyfriend. I was really uneasy about the e-mail, because there are so many things I have wanted to say to this person about how much of an asshole he was while we were dating. He was not a very nice person back then. It was almost as if I was a glutton for punishment and enjoyed being treated like crap. I spent 4 years of my life trying to make this person care about me, and it never seemed to work.

I have moved on with my life and I am very happy with how it has turned out so far. Granted, there are a few things that could be a little different, but that's not the point. I replied to his e-mail when I got home from work. Short, but sweet. I didn't go the route of being a bitch and telling him off. I simply thanked him for his apology, told him that I am enjoying life and everything was great, and that I hope things are good with him too. I feel good knowing that I got the apology I have been waiting for for so long.

And, that's pretty much all.
