Revenge or Not

My mind goes to a year ago when out of the blue I received a video message from an ex. The message came over as a text from a app I long deleted. The deletion was because I no longer wanted communication with this person. All of this came on a day I was celebrating a very important mild stone in my life. My third college degree.  Out of couroustiy, I clicked the link and listened.  As the video played I allowed everyone in the house to watch it the same time I did. I played it twice just to be nice and to make sure no one missed a thing.   Many of them know my feelings for this person and some had the same feelings I did.  This was my chance to make sure I was not going crazy and also a way to say why are you contacting me.  The message was a congratulations of my accomplishments. Believe me the first thing in my head was not thank you.  Why do I matter to you and who the heck has been keeping you up to date with my accomplishments.   Yesterday, as I sat at my desk I asked the question would you want revenge if you could get it?  A part of me said yes it would feel good to see that person suffer the way I had too and another part of me said all I want is to be left alone. If someone isn’t in the hospital or dead no contact is needed.  Now saying that one would think I’m bitter, but in all honesty I’m not I just want to live in peace.  You live your life and I will live mine.  I’m not following you on any of your social media sites and I pray to God you aren’t trolling me. When you have caused enough pain in a person life I think it’s best to either say you are sorry and move on or just simply leave them alone.
