Today I miss him. In two more days, it’s my birthday and I hate that I keep hoping he will message me and greet me a happy birthday. I don’t know why, but I get triggered thinking about him every time I’m at work. Especially now, because I’m alone at work.
I miss him when I’m at work, maybe because it’s quiet here in the office. I’m not that busy, I have no one to talk to, so I’m not really fully distracted. I hate that while I do my job, I overthink too much. I think about me and my ex's good memories together, it just keeps replaying. For some freaking reason, our summer roadtrip keeps replaying in my mind again and again, and I don’t know why.
Right now, to be honest, I want to cry. And I know it’s not worth it. It’s not worth crying over him. We’re on day 18 of no contact, and I guess I’m grieving the loss of him. I miss him. I want to message him. I want HIM to message me.

do something that will distract you from thinking about him. Don’t wait on his message because the truth is it may never come and you deserve so much more than just a text message
trust me stay as far away from him on ur bday as u can. speaking from experience a lot of shit goes down when u break no contact on ur bday
keep no contact
I can make you feel him without being him
Treat yourself to a spa day. Happy birthday!
My therapist told me that when something triggers you, you should retrain your brain to think about something else.
🥳happy birthday 🎂🥂queen treat yourself cake delicious food enjoy he coward
if he doesn’t message you on your birthday, what do you think will hurt more… the silence itself, or what it might mean about the relationship
day 18 of no contact is still so fresh
birthdays after a breakup are brutal. i remember staring at my phone all day hoping he’d text. the quiet at work made it worse too. my brain would just replay our best memories like a highlight reel
You got this! you don't need him to message you!, you are enough!, make new summer plans! - spoil yourself on your birthday. give yourself the love you would give your daughter if she was going through this.
thank you🥹❤️ this is so helpful
