As the saying goes

Something like "every day you learn and with every step, you learn", something like that. I have spent years of my life with people who were toxic, controlling or just plain wrong for me despite the best, or worst, of intentions. It's just a shame that you only get one shot, one lifetime, to do this and you can't run it twice. Maybe now I've got the good hand, a favorable deck or maybe I'm just making my own luck. I do feel damn lucky right now.
