I don’t know why I keep coming back to you whenever something happens to me but this is where my heart has lead me… Me and the guy (who’s engaged) decided to keep our distance today because we felt things were getting too casual between us.. I’m glad we both were on the same page when agreeing to remove each other but I still feel saddened by it.. I feel like I lost something really good, but that good feeling was never mine to feel to begin with… I wish I had the words to express what exactly I’m feeling.

aw anon i’m sorry that i’m so late responding to this, and even more so, i’m sorry things didn’t work out the way you hoped. it’s hardest to let go of the things our hearts have already grown attached to without our minds knowing just how much they mean. the hurt will pass, but perhaps not the feeling of loss because it’s a phantom sensation :( those things tend to stick with us, but at the very least they produce a wealth of experience and remind us that we’re human. i hope your heart hurts less now that some time has passed, but also don’t feel like you’re not entitled to your own emotions around the situation. process and vent however you need 💓 it might be a good time to surround yourself with other friends too! sharing experiences always helps. i truly hope that you’re doing well, always feel free to reach out to me 🥺💕
