disappointed but not surprised

Author

he broke no contact 4 days ago and he asked to meet up this friday. this evening, he texted me saying that it might be difficult because he’s caught a flu since yesterday. he said he’ll tell me when he gets better. i’d like to believe him but i can’t. i was actually looking forward to it but you can never get your hopes up i guess. things always go wrong if you do. i didn’t even get an apology and i still pulled up to his house and dropped off some stuff at his doorstep. idk if i made the right choice. i feel like shit right now

did you feel like dropping off your stuff was closure for you, or was it more like hoping he’d notice?

hoping he’d actually appreciate it. he did say thanks over but it sounded cold and distant

pulling up was kind, but maybe next time, let his actions speak first. it’s okay to protect your own peace

showing up even when your heart’s telling you not to… that gut-wrenching mix of hope and disappointment hits hard.

don't let them play mind games with you and don't get your hopes up too quickly

don't let yourself fall into it so easy!
