There's a small sting, but life goes on. I know where I stand now, and I also know this: what they percieve is not the truth. But does it really matter anymore? I don't think so. Nothing that I can say or do will change the situation, their faulty perception, their version of reality.

Now it is time to turn my back on the situation, walk away from the mess, remember what matters, and get on with my life.
