She had no choice but to leave and move on; she had to forget him or else she may end up breaking down completely. But how was she supposed to do that? She couldn't even handle seeing him every day. If she doesn't see him every day, it would kill her. Every single day that passed by, brought new complications to her problems and her life. She had never felt more stressed and hopeless than she does today. Even when she and Dennis are on good terms, it wasn't the same. It was like a barrier has been lifted between them.

'Dear Ace, I went through an old picture album recently and found myself reminiscing about the past, which isn’t like me. I've always believed there was no point in looking back to regret or to ponder on what could have been. Yet, I have so much regret, so much I wish I had taken the time to reflect on. I realize now that none of the things I’ve accomplished were truly my dreams, but rather, they were things I thought would earn me the love and acceptance from my father.
