Love has never been easy for me. I fall in and out of love as quickly as an unwatched pot of water boils over. I’ve had so many crushes, very few boyfriends, and only a couple of relationships that lasted more than a couple of months. And when it comes to my last relationship, I know it was a terrible mistake. I should have known better. I’m too smart, too strong… too good for a guy like that. And I knew that. Not just because Minako-chan and Ami-chan and Usagi-chan and Rei-chan – especially Rei-chan – told me so. No, deep down, I knew he wasn’t the guy for me. But you can’t tell a lonely heart that.

At least he did something right. Despite our fights and the nights he stormed out, to go off to the bar with several of his friends, he was around long enough to give me a wondrous gift. He gave me Mika, my precious baby girl. I love her so much. A part of me actually doesn’t care that he doesn’t want anything to do with her. A huge part of me feels liberated that he left. Yes, I want my baby girl to have a father… but not him. I don’t want her to even know he exists.

He’s a scar in my life. He doesn’t need to be one in hers.
