Thanks toĀ LindseyĀ for sending this to me one Saturday night, a description of all the things she can do now that she has left herĀ abusive relationship:
- I can stamp on myĀ ConcreteĀ floor as much as I want to!
- I can go shopping after work!
- I can buy those new open toes lacy shoes without being accused of something.
- I can go home āsickā from work just because I was stressed out and needed a break and not be thrown against the wall for coming home too āsoon.ā
- I can eat Campbellās soup instead of Progresso.
- I can have lunch with my coworkers and not have to lie about buying a sandwich in the vending machine.
- I can snack on those potato chips while watching a movie without having to be reminded about my weight.
- I can mow my lawn criss-cross, backwards or in any direction I choose.
- I can start the lawn mower myself without being an idiot even if it takes ten pulls.
- I have caller ID.
- I can have friends now.
- I can wear make up and 2-inch heels.
- If I donāt want to dishes before I go to bed ā I donāt have to.
- I can wear a black dress to work.
- I can like me for who I am and be proud that of the things I do even it doesnāt matter to anyone else!
