Why i can't stop thinking about the future we never had

Author

one of the many things I wanted to say to you is... i never wanted to think of the future, but that's what *you* wanted so I relented, I even told u that.
the future is never guaranteed so I like living in the moment and not making plans for too far into the future. and *every* time I make long term plans I always get disappointed. you gave me false hope with your bullshit fake promises of "I'll always be here for u" I should've clocked that as a lie and detached as soon as u said it. but here I am, I don't even miss *you* I miss the life we were planning together. and to make things worse, I told my sister and she told her friends and we were making these awesome plans now we're all heartbroken. well fuck u and I hope you're inconvenienced every other day by something. I feel lost again 😞

when you say you miss the life you planned together more than you miss them, has that been true since the breakup or did it only hit you later?

those promises can really stick in your chest.

i did the same thing once. i wasn't even crying over my ex anymore, i was grieving the version of my life i'd already built in my head.

we grieve so many things from a break up, and the future/possibilities is a tough one to move past because it’s so idealized. We want to believe someone will be there for us, but so many things can go wrong in the meantime. I’m hoping one day there will be someone that keeps their promises to you.

ugh this hits sooo hard i think it hurts more because when we say it we mean we dont just throw out promises or future plans just because we are in the moment and when we see other people say it and not come through its infuriating im sorry your going through this

when we promise things we need to realise the impact those words have on people. I wish my ex would realize that saying something all those years and me believing them and then leaving is what is breaking me every damn day.
