The Story of Stephanie (Chapter 11)

After Mike, my life changed. I began seeing a girl. I went on a few dates with her and felt like I'd finally found the woman of my dreams. Everything about us just seemed to click. We had the same taste in music, and had a similar twisted sense of humour. As things started to progress and get serious, I knew I had to focus on her. Stephanie had to take another back seat. I always said, after previous relationships and heartbreak, that I'd try my best not to fall too hard for her. But, I couldn't help it. She was perfect. I felt like after years of torment, I'd finally found my soulmate. As I speak now, we're still together and very much in love. She completes me. Again, after thinking long and hard, I decided I couldn't go on as Stephanie. I couldn't risk this relationship. I know what a lot of you will say. I should tell her. Yeah, maybe I should. But, the thought of losing her is something I can't handle. And this feels like something I should keep to myself. After being together for just over a year, we decided to move in together. I had to once more get rid of everything. This time it didn't feel as heartbreaking as the last time. I knew it was the right thing to do. I'm ready to be the man I've always wanted to be. I got to be the woman I'd always wanted to be!

This time though, Stephanie will live on. I'll continue on . I'll keep in touch with the amazing people I've met in my time and I hope to make some new friends too. Who knows, maybe we'll all meet again. In the meantime though, thank you all. You are all a big part of my life and I'll never forget the times we had.

I hope you all enjoyed my story. Maybe there'll be another chapter someday!

The end.
