Ex Closing

So, I went to finish getting my stuff out of my ex's place tonight and my oh my was it unpleasant. I have been nothing but accommodating and patient about getting the rest of my stuff which included the ring but she acted as if I was intruding. What is it about the past that makes people hold on so tightly, unable to move on and so bitter? Why can't people be happy with where they are and just accept the past as that, the PAST? Well, if people choose to be unhappy that is their business and although I would prefer them to happy it is ultimately up to them. I would like to play my part in their happiness, whatever that might be. Well, I have my stuff and another unpleasant memory but this experience itself is the past and I will not let it corrupt my happiness and my soul.
