Mortal Enemy Revisited

There was a girl whom I knew during Form 1 in JB. She and 2 others used to taunt me to no end and I secretly wished them death. It could be partly my fault as well, for not standing up for my rights but it was so much easier then (at 13) to be vindictive. As I found out, she now sends her child to the same pre-school my child goes to. I hope the upbringing that raised her to be a bully doesn't transfer to the child. I guess I have forgiven her (to some extent) since I was able to face her & talk to her like a civil person the other time we met. We got to the point of even exchanging numbers for courtesy's sake, without any real plan to call back.

In a way I have moved on with my life. I did not allow bullies like her to affect me in later years. That was a good outcome from an unpleasant experience. I am 30 now and I have, since then, gotten to know myself better and come to terms with who I am. What I can say now is that I am happy with the choices that I have made.. and I have belief that life will get better & better.
