"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back.
Maybe you have to let go of who you were, to become who you will be."
-- Sex & The City, Season 5, Episode 1, "Anchors Away"

"I wish to inform you of my decision to withdraw from the M.A. (English Studies) Programme, for personal reasons." It is done.

They call, asking how I am. I tell them I am OK. No more tears. No more what-ifs. No more pinings. Rarely anyway. I am also finally catching up on sleep. I used to tell him that I would not be able to live without him; that I would rather kill myself; I could not bear even the thought of the rest of my life without him. It seems that I can and I will, after all.

Ridding myself of excess baggage.
Stepping onto a new path.
Walking tall.
