Feeling nostalgic after a breakup

Author

It’s the first real warm day of the year, and I feel so incredibly sad.
I know he’s probably sitting outside in the sun with his new girlfriend, trying to impress her the same way he once tried to impress me during our first warm days. Same month, same air, same everything.
They’re probably sitting in the chairs we bought together, drinking from the glasses he gave me but I never got to take with me when he ended things. And later, they’ll lie in the same bed where I used to be.
I don’t usually think like this. I don’t know where these thoughts are coming from, and I don’t know how to make them stop.

do you think it’s the memories of those specific moments, or the feeling of being replaced that’s hurting more right now?

i couldn’t stop those thoughts either, but what helped me a bit was gently pulling myself out of the “what they’re doing” loop and back into my own day, even if it felt forced at first

the first warm day after my breakup, i kept picturing him doing all the same little things with someone else and it made everything feel so replaceable
