You took a deep breath in the mirror. It's the first time you've worn heels in three years, and you were- nervous, to say the least.

Your ex-boyfriend left you about two months ago, and it was honestly a little freeing, now that you think about it. He never got your sense of humor and always controlled the little things in your life. It was exhausting. But, of course- breakups are still hard.
