Why her 'i missed you' no longer moves me

She texted recently, “just checking up” followed by an “I missed you” but when I saw the text this time I stared at it blankly with no words. I didn’t feel the excitement i used to feel when I hear those words and no longer trust those words coming from her. This isn’t the first time this keeps happening but at this point my heart is already tired to be in this cycle over and over such that my heart doesn’t skip a beat anymore when I see it

i’d heard those words before and still ended up hurt. it’s exhausting when the same person keeps pulling you back into the same cycle

Like seriously. Reason why it’s important not to based your life on yourself and not a text from them. when I understood this, I was able to break out that exhausting cycle

i went through this too, and honestly, i stopped letting sweet messages convince me that things had changed. i needed to see consistency, not just hear that someone missed me

i feel like something has shifted for you. when you stared at her message and felt nothing, did it feel more like you were finally letting go, or like you were just too tired to hope again?
