“You weren’t mine, at least never completely, never for more than a night at a time. You were that light happy feeling between sober and drunk. You were a “tell me when you get home,” “have a safe flight,” “good morning, beautiful” text message. You were never someone I wanted to marry or bring home to my family or cry to about anything at all. I liked you because you were easy and we were happy and light and free. And I can’t even tell you what happened but now you’re the taste in the back of my throat from that last vodka soda I didn’t need. Now you’re an “I miss you” text read at 10:57pm and never answered. Because we let things go too far and then slammed on the brakes when the light was still green. And now we’ll never know if it could have been great or just how great it would have been. And I wish we ended it while you were still good memories instead of bad tastes.”

No matter how many times you replay the whole timeline in your head, you’re never going to be able to pinpoint the exact moment it went wrong. Rereading months of text messages isn’t going to give you any clarity, or make it any easier. You won’t get answers out of his friends, or his horoscope, or the pictures he’s liking on his phone. Sometimes you have to tell yourself it’s not something you did, or didn’t do, and there’s nothing you could have done differently, and it’s not because you were too much to handle, nor is it because you weren’t enough. And then you have to just let go, because it’s all you can do.

I find comfort in knowing that people who I’ve cut out of my life are left with this version of me that simply doesn’t exist anymore. The memory and image of me that they have isnt who I am, and I’m happy that it’s that way. I’ve changed and grown and they wont ever get the chance to know the better version of myself that I’ve become during their absence.

“Je me suis souvent retrouvé à pardonner aux gens juste parce que je ne voulais pas qu'ils quittent ma vie. Je continuais à m'accrocher à chaque petite chose en espérant qu'un jour tout se termine. Je suppose que j'aurais dû être forte et mettre fin à tout ça. Rappelez-vous, si quelqu'un vous fait du mal une fois, c'est de sa faute, mais s'il vous fait du mal deux fois, c’est de la votre.”

Il y a des livres que l’on rate, comme certaines rencontres,on passe à côté d’histoire et de gens qui auraient pu tout changer. A cause d’un malentendu , d’une couverture ou d’un résumé passable, d’un à priori. Heureusement que parfois la vie insiste .

One person’s “too much” is another person’s everything. Don’t allow one person to make you feel like you have to hide parts of yourself. The right ones will make you feel free and will allow you to be yourself - the right ones will stay.
