The Sweetest Vengeance

...Is a life well lived. A life filled with happiness so vast that it threatens to split your heart in two. Vengeance doesn't have to involve the other person at all! This kind of vengeance thwarts all their plans without having to stoop to that level...this, my friends, is the greatest lesson I have to learn right now.
My kind of vengeance will involve chubby smiling babies, trips to Disneyland, traveling the world with someone who loves me, realizing financial goals, purring cats and loving dogs, hanging red curtains, dancing until dawn, sushi with friends, and always taking my vitamins.
My kind of vengeance will break you, because you cannot stand to see that you've failed. You've failed to make me miserable. You've failed to break me. You have failed at the only thing you know how to do. You've failed because I have all the things you don't. Because I have a heart that's filled with joy, and you will never know that.
Vengeance belongs to the Lord. But THIS, this I can do with his blessing. You can sit there with hate rotting your very being. I will choose happiness and love. Thank God I have the option.
