almost may
1/2
i dreamt about you last night
and woke up with a pit in my stomach
uneasy and heavy
i woke up missing you
i woke up missing your physical body
i woke up missing being silly and playful with you
i haven’t cried in 8 days
i’ve felt acceptance and hope for my future without you
today i’m regressing in inches
but even slipping is still moving forward
2/2
you had a choice in all of this.
what happened to you wasn’t your fault — i feel immense empathy for the scared, hurt child inside of you —
but you chose how to respond.
you chose to treat me like i’m disposable.
you chose to believe you feel nothing for me.
you chose to run instead of leaning in.
all choices rooted in self-absorption, fear, and a scarcity mindset.
and none of them have anything to do with me or my worth
