I must push through the pain, and abstain from the temptations.
The realization that the old fears are now gone seems to bring bitterness instead of joy, but I trust that will pass in time.
I fight the urge for the evil thoughts towards those that who have always "minded my business for me" instead of offering a helping hand. I doubt they (the nosey ones) will ever change, but I must rise above.
Today, the end of an era...
