birthday.

Author

today is my birthday, and I hardly thought about her. but when I did, I think about how she told me she had a birthday gift for me when we did talk. now I wonder what it was, and if she even remembered it's my birthday. grief is so weird.

do you think part of you still hopes she remembered? or is it more about missing what that moment could’ve been?

sometimes I hope she does remember, and just think about how she regrets us not talking because of how she made me feel. but I also do miss what we could've been.

grief really does come in weird waves. i try to just let those thoughts pass through instead of fighting them — like, “okay, that memory showed up, but it doesn’t own me anymore.

on my birthday last year, i caught myself wondering if my ex still remembered too. it’s wild how even when you’re healing, the brain still loops back to those little promises that never got finished.
