I actually did a thing where I took a stand.

Hey you. 

Maybe obvious but…I’m trying to live more truthfully…so yah. I feel hurt. Confused. And with this job not paying us and my operating job and Laura’s cancer and now I’m moving… I have a lot happening too. I need support, not confusion. So… yah. Putting space between me and you. 


I didn’t really wanna do this in a text, but I tried last week and kinda melted when I heard your voice and thought if we could just reconnect physically things might be okay again…I felt very foolish about that after you suggested I reach out later and then…didn’t respond when I reached out later.


Anyway, sorry it’s a text. I really really cared about you…I just kind of don’t feel very cared for. That’s okay, but…it’s a text. 


Good luck this weekend with your dad again. I hope it all works out for him and your family. Good luck with the house and your work and sweet Fred. I really wish you the bestestestestest!


Maybe a little late, but I'm proud that I actually did it. I am a person with boundaries. See me flex my boundary-having muscles. Watch me as I do not crumble into a crying mess at the realization that it's been an hour and he hasn't responded. I am so strong as I move on with my life and do not even think about him every time I see a dog or every fucking day when I'm in his neighborhood or every time I talk to another human being or every ten minutes that I am alive. I am powerful as I do not jump a foot out of my skin hoping it's him every time my phone chimes or rings.


I'm fine.


Really, I'm fine.
