I wrote about trying to be the better person and not call her out on her actions.

 

I wrote about seeing her tonight and attempting to smile and acknowledge her presence, to only have her glare straight through me.

 

I wrote that I don’t understand what I did to deserve this treatment, and probably never will.

 

I wrote details that would show the world who she really is.

 

Tonight I wrote a blog post that will never be seen, and I replaced it with this.

 

Tonight I wrote a blog post, and I feel better.
