19. No more "waiting" to break up again (just get it over with for good this time)

20. No more "getting back together" again (how many times do we have to keep trying before we just accept we aren't meant to be together?)

21. No more putting my life on hold trying to make our relationship work (a relationship is supposed to be a positive extension of me, not dominate my thoughts, emotions, moods and being in a negative way)

25. No more drama! (Such a good one, it needs repeating....daily)

26. More free time to do things for yourself.

27. Finding out how much your friends love you and support you and will listen over and over and over and over to your constant questioning of what went wrong.

28. A chance to find a new love who will appreciate you.

29. The wonderful moment when, after a good heavy cry, too much wine, and chick-flicks, you realize what a wonderful person you really are.
