hii!! so it's been 3 weeks, which means it's time for me to journal again 😊
i think this is the first time since the breakup that i can really see progress. i am finally starting to detach from the hope of reconnecting and starting to think of us as a thing of the past. this feels really thrilling for me, it feels like i am starting to become my own person, it's so freeing
i haven't cried over the breakup for a while now, which is good. this week i didn't even feel the need to vent. i do still miss the relationship, but i think i crave the connection more than the actual person. he didn't treat me well, but being in love and having someone to call mine felt safe. and yeah, i think that's the only thing setting me back right now
i have started focusing on my studies again for the first time since we broke up. i'm finally starting to find the energy to do things for me. i think i'm also truly regaining my happiness, being in a toxic relationship for so long led me to self isolation, now i can see myself opening up to people again and that brings me so much joy
21 days sounds like a lot to me when he was my daily routine for the past 3 years. and the fact that we've gone that many days without any contact makes my heart ache a little. but i remind myself that just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's not good for me. i know i will come out of this so much stronger
week 4 will be the one that will mark a full month of no contact. an odd milestone to celebrate, but i want to view it as a milestone of my resilience, rebuilding and healing, so for that reason, i can't wait 🫶

when you say you’re opening up to people again, who’s been making you feel most supported lately?
what you said about craving connection is so real. when that hits me, i usually try to pour that energy into my routine or people who actually show up for me. it kinda reminds my brain that connection isn’t only tied to one person.
i remember hitting that same point where i realized i didn’t actually miss him, i missed the feeling of belonging to someone. my ex treated me like shit too but i kept clinging to the “safe” part. seeing you notice that difference is huge. i’m proud of you fr
I'm very happy for you. you actually giving me hope because I'm in week 2 of no contact and it starts to feel a little better each day,the urge to reach out is still there but staying busy helps I think. keep going,you're almost there. I really wish you could get over him by week 4 . good luck,you're not alone
