he doesn’t text back all the time
but
he texts back when he’s with her.
hey, i’m sorry but i want you out of my life. totally and utterly. sorry i can’t explain but it’s just the way it is. there’s nothing more. i know this doesn’t sound right or normal or ok by anyone but it’s just the way it is
“my mother died when i was twenty-one, and at the time i was working a lot and was rather snappy with her, like so many children are with their mothers, and when she died i wished so badly that i would have told her that i loved her more often. sometimes, at night, i’ll tell her i love her, and just hope she hears me. i don’t know, but i want to believe that she does. that’s why i try to tell you that i love you so often. i want you to know i really mean it.”
“Thank you, so much, for everything.” —- I want to go back go then.
in elementary school my friends and i used to act things out almost like larping but we would come up with characters and powers and plots and one time we were standing in line to get on the bus for a field trip and this was around the time i started wanting to be cool and caring what cool kids thought of me and one of my friends was acting in character and i said “dont do that just be yourself” and she said “but i dont like being myself” and i just never thought about the acting stuff the same
I’m sorry for what I said about being better or caring more about you than you did about me. Even if you’ll never read it, I’m still sorry. When I was playing and singing tonight, you were listening to me. You were the only one, and you didn’t want it to look that way, because you had to pay attention to the other guests, but I know you were listening.
Thank you for that.
The precisely two times you held my face in your hands and held me really close and said I loved you, and it doesn’t matter that you were drunk both times, because I make excuses for your lack of emotional honestly all the time and this is no different
“I won’t lie and tell you that things will get better, because I don’t have the power to tell you that and I think it’s bullshit. But I will tell you that you’ll learn and you’ll live based on your own strength that I know is inside you.” - the teacher who changed my life.
“i’m so sorry”
“your best friend overshadows you.”
We were laying in bed together and he whispered, “ever since we broke up I’ve been slowly destroying myself”.
When she told me I am a bullshitter I changed my life
This may sound really dumb, but once someone told me I was, “perfect.” She then went on about how she wished her kids would be like me and I’m such a good person. I have never forgotten that vodka-fuelled night because those words hurt me more than anyone or anything ever had. I was in (what I thought was) love with her and she basically told me I was, “perfect,” but not enough for her. She didn’t have to say it because I knew what she meant. I’ve gotten over it since then but I still think about that night from time-to-time.
“you make me regret ever having children”
message us anonymously (or un-anonymously if you want we don’t care) one thing that was said to you that you will never ever forget
it can be like a shot story (cause the ask box can’t handle a long one)
or a list
or simply just what they said
