As time passes, things that once had a memory of you in it are slowly diminishing... I have slowly gotten rid of things that you had 'sponsored' in a way or another. The last thing that I had yet to get rid is the VAIO laptop that you have minimally contributed monetarily. It has died on me 2 weeks back and is lying my the study room waiting for Karang Guni, a voluntary organization that doesn't mind a spoiled laptop or an Ah Beng who can repair it before I donate it to kids in those 3rd-world country for education.
In May 2012, I have already gotten rid of the wedding ring and the mementos of our (once) love, your clothes, shoes and undergarments from my wardrobe in Azalea. The only thing left that I had was the old VAIO laptop, which I had paid nearly $2k. I had also changed job so that I could start life anew. Taking your compensation of a mere $5k to Melbourne to refresh myself.
The past 3, coming 4 years since then, my life is so different. I have learnt much more about myself, regain my own esteem and respect, became more confident in dealing with matters and led a new life, got married, owned my own house, gained a better career prospect along with my degree. I had done things that you once put me down for, I have proved you wrong. I found and married someone better than you, led a better life without you and achieved my own degree without the need for anyone to do my assignments for me.
I hope you are happier without me. The prideful you will say 'Of course' but ask your own heart, deep down inside, are you really better off and happier without me? I need not know the answer.
Goodbye VAIO laptop with memories soon.
