A word

I went through my stretch of bitterness after him, yes, but there came a point when I had to snap out of it because staying bitter would have made him the winner. You understand what I’m saying? Staying bitter wouldn’t have done me any good, or attracted anything good in my life either. Staying bitter would have only sent all the good things, and people, running in the opposite direction-and I didn’t want that. He had already controlled too much of me while we were together...and staying bitter meant that he got to control the rest of my life without even having to be in it.
