So, I feel like the worst person in the world. I cheated on Frankie. It was definitely the worst decision I've made so far in my life, but it got me out of a bad situation that I was tired of being in. I still love him, but I really think I just needed a break. No, I know that I needed a break.

I would have sent you a message, but the 'send message' hyperlink was not working. Good to be back. :)
