That’s it. I’m going through a difficult breakup. Things were incredible, it was fast and intense and overwhelming with love and happiness… then ended very suddenly after he got spooked and decided he isn’t ready.

Those things happen. I’m not angry. I’m resentful that I was able to be so vulnerable and get hurt the way I did. I gave him my heart, and he dropped it on the floor and ran. I’ve never gone through this before and it fucking hurts. Genuine ache in my gut.

Since I’m so new to this feeling, I really just need to hear that it’s normal and it’ll pass. I just want to know I’m not alone. People who have been through that kind of pain and made it to the other side and are happy again - can you please just tell me it’s going to be okay? I need that encouragement right now.
