Taking my first step to moving on

Author

i am sleeping in my own bed for the first night since the break up. i’ve stayed with my mom every night so far. my bedroom has felt far too full of his energy, lonely, and suffocating. i think i can handle it tonight. i’m not sure yet. wish me luck.

for me a bit was changing small things, new sheets, moving stuff around, even playing something in the background so the silence didn’t get too loud.

i’ve had a couple people tell me that rearranging my room could help. heavily considering doing that!

do you have anything you can keep on tonight, like a show or music, just so it doesn’t feel so quiet in there?

i ended up keeping asmr on and took some melatonin so i wouldn’t stay up staring and thinking. i slept all the way through the night!

that first night back in my own bed after my breakup, it felt so heavy like every corner had memories in it. i didn’t sleep much, just laid there feeling everything at once. you’re braver than you think for even trying tonight
