I miss the old them.

I think the reason why it was so difficult for me to move on from my avoidant ex is because I feel like the version of them that they showed me in the beginning, the person I truly loved, has died.

This new person had the same name and the same face, but it’s not them anymore. Like Dolly Alderton said, the love is still there, but the familiarity isn’t.

No matter how difficult it is, I must choose myself this time. No more games, no more excuses. Grieve if I must, but accept that that chapter is over.

Sending love to everyone.
