relieved by the choice of words in my internal monologue where when i found out that xbf is in hawaii with newgf and i felt upset, the phrase “i know it’s not a contest but” came into my head.
i am sad sometimes to remember and acknowledge that i have only loved one person in my life and let myself cling like gum to a shoe until the bitter end. i wish him well but it is reassuring to have little twinges like this made clear
