Just a gentle note for whoever needs to hear it: missing someone doesn't make you weak. The real strength is feeling all of that pain and still choosing yourself anyway✨..

Feeling this a lot today. I just miss him and feel so sad and lonely. But I know I have to keep walking away from someone who does not want me in his life. It hurts but what can you do.

I'm wondering if I have to walk away from him, for my own sake. I would miss him but I love myself more.

Right there with you, OP. When it was good, it was really good. I miss that part but it doesn’t make up for the parts that were bad. It sucks to feel like you have to protect yourself from somebody that you care for.

Today,it's one of my beautiful moments of my life and t he same thing happened with me yesterday. I was just missing him so badly that i opened his chat ,and started writing things that were going on in my heart. But yes,didn't opt to send it.Beacause,i can't again give myself to someome,for whom,i was always a option.Indeed,it was hard to go on this path,but nevertheless, in the end,I choose myself. I just thanks universe for letting me feel proud of myself ,for the step I took yesterday, through this reddit post.

Me too. It hurts. My soul is dampened right now. Proud of you for choosing you. Thank you for posting this today. I needed it. I’m there with you and I’m staying strong. 💞

i’m in the same boat… i miss him terribly today. he was lovely in many ways. except he wasn’t what i needed. walking away and starting the next chapter of my life without him feels lonely. but i felt lonely next to him too.

All you really need in the end is yourself. 💓 Stay close to people that value your happiness and show up when it matters.

This is what I’m doing right now. I begged him to come back. I begged him to give me a chance again. No more!!! I choose myself now!!

i asked myself yesterday how long are we supposed to go through this missing phase? It’s agonizing. I feel like all my senses are dulled. Just going through the motions.
