There are times in your life where you sit back and look at everything that has happened. Wondering if your life is where you want it to be. Sometimes they're bad thoughts. Other times they're good thoughts. But who's to judge who's right and who's wrong...? If someone is happy, is it really a wrong decision? If someone is miserable, can it be a good situation?
Say there's a man that beat his wife every day for the two years they've been married. But he keeps a roof over her head, doesn't ask her to get a job, doesn't expect much except dinner on the table. Doesn't have to say a word and can always run to the cops if she needs to. She's well taken care of, and if she's happy, is it wrong? Is that a bad decision?
Say there's a man, he has a wife and two kids that love him, a great job and no debt. But he's miserable. His wife is ALWAYS there for him when he needs someone, but he doesn't go to her. Why? Because he doesn't want her to worry. He's miserable, but he's happy. Is it a bad decision?

There's a girl, she lasted through ten years of abuse, 36 stitches in her left arm from one suicide attempt, downed full bottles of Tylenol with gin or whiskey, and smoked like a chimney. She was abused, ignored, abandoned, emotionally destroyed, and verbally assaulted, raped, held at gunpoint, and shattered.
But she finds someone that makes her happy. Someone that cares. Someone that tries to do the best they can for her while at a long distance. Someone that listens and understands what she's going through. Only problem... the people close to her don't like that other person. Her friends know and understand. They've only heard a few of the stories of her life. But they know that its her decision and will stand by her if they are needed.
This person that she found is in a rough situation where they are. But even so, when she stresses out or breaks down, somehow they know.

Somehow...

Just somehow...

The way she says good morning or hi when she wakes up, the first question is always, are you okay?

This person doesn't take fine as an answer. Why? Because they know her. They understand her. This person wants to make sure that everything is actually, 100% good with her.

Is that a bad choice?

Is that a good choice?

Really depends on who you ask.

Some people will say Yeah it's a bad choice.

Some people will say Yeah it's a good choice.

But why?

Why can't people see that this girl is happy.

For once in her life she actually looks forward to her birthday. Because she gets to get away from her life for a few days and just have fun. She gets to go see this person. She gets to go on the first date she's ever been on in over 7 years.

This girl, hasn't been on a date, in 7 years.

How old is this girl?

I mean if she's 15-18 then whatever big deal.

Nah. This girl's 24. She cant remember the last time she was treated like a person, taken out on a date, she can't remember a time where she was held or kissed... She can't remember a time where she looked in a mirror and actually thought she looked good. Hell. Bet you she can't even remember a time where the mirrors were even uncovered.

When someone is treated like a person. Told 100 times a day, every day, "I love you, I love you, I love you", "You're the only reason I get up every morning and deal with this shit. The only reason I endure everything and get up." "Can I call you? I miss your voice..."

When someone tells you that and means it? Who cares about what happened. Who cares about the past. Just because something happened before doesn't mean it's always going to happen. She's happy. She's comfortable. She feels pretty. What does it matter? Why judge someone based on past events?

Her friends trust this person.

Her friends see she's happy.

Her friends want to meet that person because of the difference in her attitude since meeting that person.

So really.

What's right and wrong?

Who has the right to say?

If this girl believes she made the right choice and is happy with everything, who's to say otherwise? Who's to tell her that she can't be happy?
I made the right choice. I don't regret it. I don't regret anything. I do regret people who can't understand why I make the decisions I make.

I love you...

Just one of those nights.
