Closed Chapters

Some chapters of my life I don't want to relive. I know there's merit in rereading and reflecting, but reliving is an entirely different story. It's like a story or an essay I can't stop myself from going back to. I thought I concluded this section already - it's been repeated too many times already. It's funny to think how when this chapter started, I didn't even know what the words meant. And yet, even as I learned, the ink kept flowing.

I realized today that I tend to go back to you every 2-3 years. I suppose you're a bit overdue. But I'm ready for you, and this time, I'm going to make sure you're gone for good.
