“It didn’t matter what was rational. I didn’t give a fuck. It hurt. It hurt because he looked me in the eyes and said he’d be there.

And then he wasn’t.”

closure

so life is truly full circle

can’t believe i lied a foot away from you a year later

and i thought “i feel absolutely nothing for you”

and i wasn’t lying to myself this time

thank you

what you didn’t give me ended up being the best life lesson i would’ve never read in any textbook, heard in any spoken word, or found on my own

thank you.

so is life;

i am so emotionally exhausted with relationships and trying to express how i feel about people and figuring out if they feel the same and risking friendships and falling in love with all the wrong people and looking in that one person’s eyes and noticing that they glimmer and knowing that mine will never do the same for them

She asked me, "How could you forgive him - talk to him like nothing happened. Like he didn't break your heart. How do you look into his eyes and make small talk and not remember how red yours were when you were crying your eyes out? Then she said, "Are you trying to keep him from feeling guilty?" I said, "The hurt was exhausting. But you know what was even more exhausting? Avoiding him like the plague. Not being able to hold a three second conversation with the person I used to be able to sit in silence with for hours. Carrying around that shortness of breath. I forgave him. Not for him; for me."

Just a reminder in case your mind is playing tricks on you today: You matter. You’re important. You’re loved & your presence on this earth makes a difference whether you see it or not
