Shelby,

Sorry it feels like things aren’t getting better for you.. but honestly you are doing SO well! I can completely relate to the feeling of wanting your ex to reach out on an occasion like a birthday – I had the same back in October. I think it’s quite petty that he didn’t, considering the length of time you guys spent together but I guess it just goes back to that thing of we can’t control other people, we can only control ourselves.

You do what YOU need to do or think you should do to help you move forward. For me, after much thought that was exactly that one last conversation. I knew it had to happen otherwise despite my better judgement and all the advice given from everyone around me, my thoughts would always wander back to how? why? Etc and I would end up dwelling on/wasting a lot of time on it.

What’s the plan for tomorrow?! Are you keeping busy?
