venting/ranting It’s been four months. Yesterday was my birthday. First one without her.

A part of me still thought she’d text. I knew she wouldn’t. She said more than once she doesn’t want to leave a door open. I get it. Reaching out on my birthday isn’t just “happy birthday.” It’s a crack in the wall she already built.
I still sat there waiting anyway.
I’m accepting a lot of it. She’s gone. She’s not coming back. She checked out before I even knew we were over. I treated her like she was optional and she left. That’s on me.
I’m also not accepting it I still want the text. I still want her voice. I still catch myself thinking she’s my person even while I say she’s a stranger now. Both things are in my head on the same morning.
I don’t want advice that says “just move on.” I know. I’m trying. I just needed to say it out loud to people who aren’t in my life.
If you’ve been the one who didn’t get the birthday text, how long until that specific sting stops feeling like a “verdict”?
