List of “I thought I was over it, but I guess I was wrong about that” prompts
Feeling that dip in your stomach when the person’s name is mentioned again. Even worse, it’s been years since you’ve heard that name yet it still causes an almost visceral reaction within you, your eyes dilating and your breath catching in your throat, your world spinning around you a little.
You were so sure you were over them—over whatever they’ve done to you—that you didn’t expect to react so strongly even after so many years.
There were many points you’ve rehearsed, in your head, the way you’d act, the way you’d speak, the way you’d hold yourself if you ever saw them again. You anticipated many reactions, but you didn’t anticipate falling apart the instant you accidentally cross paths with them again.
“I thought you forgave them?”
“Fuck, I haven’t moved on at all.”
“I didn’t think it would bother me that much to see them again.”
When you get random flashbacks of past situations or people and you can feel yourself gripped with frustration at the mere thought of them. And it’s over things you thought you were over already.
“Well, you know what they say? Healing isn’t linear and sleeping with other people does the opposite of getting over someone. I got smacked in the face with a pillow the other day because I said [insert Character A’s name] instead of theirs while we were having sex.”
“…Yeah, I think that’s your fault.”
“Just when I thought my life couldn’t become more of a shit show, I think I’m starting to realise how much I miss them.”
“…It’s been months of no contact. I thought I was doing well. And then they message me out of nowhere, saying how much they regret what they did and wishing me the best, and it all falls the fuck apart.”
“Hey, so that was insane.”
“Yeah, not as insane as them showing up at my door and assuming I don’t hold any resentment for what they’ve done to me and how much they’ve fried my nervous system. They deserved that slap.”
“You said you were over what they’ve done to you.”
“Well, I guess I’ve learned one trait from them: lying.”
