he said he didn’t have money for my birthday… but somehow he had money for the theatre, cafés with other people, secret santa gifts, new clothes. even posting reels about what to buy for someone else… just not me. not even something small, not even a chocolate on my birthday.
the way someone shows up for you on your birthday says a lot. it shows how much you matter to them, and where you stand. it took me a while, but i finally saw the truth.
sometimes it all comes rushing back. out of nowhere my chest tightens, my eyes fill up, and i’m left wondering why i stayed as long as i did.
i’ve heard people face what they do in this life. maybe one day he’ll have to sit with what he did.

when you think back on it now, do you feel like there were other moments where you were being put last but you brushed it off at the time?
u know i had to stop waiting for her to “realize” anything, because that kept me stuck.
i dated someone who always had time and effort for everyone else but somehow not for me, especially on days that mattered.
