Cherry commented last week that in a sense, Baggage was good for me, because if it hadnt been for him, I would have probably gotten back together with The Ex, back into a relationship that was unhealthy and draining for both parties involved.

She definitely has a point there. The other thing that I owe Baggage a debt of gratitude for is for forcing me to grow up and face the reality of the world. I've spent far too long living in a little bubble, where I was always safe and protected. For 18 years, my parents sheltered me from anything that could hurt me, and for the last three years, the Ex has been doing the same, in shielding me from the harshness that is real life. I have gone through my entire life believing that people are good; and always giving people the benefit of the doubt. Baggage opened my eyes to the fact that the world is not a loving, caring place. Everyone is out for whatever they can get, and they will have no qualms about using you however they please, in order to achieve their goals. Noone cares about you, or how you will feel. The world is a selfish place. And if you want to survive in it, you need to grow a thicker skin and become aware of the fact that you are surrounded by people who are going to try to take advantage of your weaknesses. Don't let them.
