I did things for and within that relationship that no sane or emotionally stable person would ever do. And I woke up at the end of that encounter exactly the way another kind of addict might wake up in a motel room somewhere off the highway outside Vegas, wrecked and bewildered, with no memory of how she had gotten there—and not sure where that fresh new tattoo had come from, either. Blinking in the blazing sun, wondering where her money went, and asking in devastated confusion, “How did that just happen?” Or maybe it would be more accurate to ask: “How did that just happen again?

Legacy of Letting Go: A Journal for Those Healing from Love That Could Not Stay
Love isn’t everything, it’s just one part of everything you deserve. You deserve respect, peace, honesty, support, and understanding, too. Love without these things feels heavy and incomplete. Real happiness comes when love adds to your life, not when it becomes the only reason you live.

Yes, I know I am not perfect. I make mistakes, I overthink, and I overreact, too, but at least I am not like you. At least I don’t use people and then throw them out of my life when I am done. I don’t pretend to care just to fill my empty moments. When I give my time, I mean it. When I care, I genuinely do. I don’t treat people like options or memories that can be erased when they no longer serve me. Maybe I would have hurt you, but who doesn't hurt? Have you not hurt me ever?

The pain of silence is heavier than the pain of truth. Truth may hurt for a while, but silence hurts every day. It leaves you guessing, overthinking, and carrying questions that never find answers. When someone chooses silence, it creates distance, confusion, and doubt. You start wondering what went wrong, and that ache slowly grows inside you. Honesty may be hard, but it brings clarity. Silence only leaves emptiness. So choose truth, even if it shakes you for a moment, because silence breaks you slowly, without saying a word.

I pour myself one more drink and go outside for one more cigarette. I wonder where she is now - I imagine her doing her long night-time skincare routine or getting a taxi home or doing an impassioned rant in a pub somewhere with her third glass of wine in her hand. And then I say goodbye to her. I wash up the glasses and remember the ongoing dispute we had about how to stack things on the drying rack. I say goodbye. I go upstairs to bed and I remember when she first came here, how strange it was to wake up next to her in my childhood bedroom. I say goodbye. And it feels okay. I say all my goodbyes, ready to no doubt meet her tomorrow to say goodbye all over again.

If love were logic, it wouldn’t be called love. It would be called marriage. Joking, but love can’t be logical; it’s out of this world, so rules of reality don’t apply to it.

When the delicate chalice of connection has fallen and shattered upon the hard stone of misunderstanding, do not spend your precious moments weeping over the fragments, nor seeking the elusive wisdom in the void. Instead, gather the largest pieces. Find a high-quality, clear-drying adhesive designed for ceramics. Apply liberally, hold firmly for sixty seconds.

Oh, um...thank you, Trisha." I choke out. "That's really nice of you."
See, no big deal. She's just being nice and normal and not creepy at all.
I need to get, like, whatever is the opposite of a venti latte on the way to work today and chill the fuck out.
