The Trickster and the Fool in love

This was something I wrote, three years ago, after a pretty horrible breakup, with a very toxic and manipulative partner.
I regret what he did more to my friends and family than to the cruel things he did to me.
However, after the break-up, It pushed me to find happiness and make something of myself.
He was not going to ruin my life and I refused to give up on myself.
Just remember, no matter how frightening the idea of being alone is, it's better to be alone, than to be dating a monster or someone who repeatedly hurts you and your loved ones.
