To the ones healing from a break-up.

A thread:

They say when you see someone tilting their head and exposing their neck, it makes them appear very frail and vulnerable. It's an invite to potential suitors. But you don't do that anymore.

You've become very prideful about your emotions, and rarely do you put your wounds on display, especially to the ones that have a thing for picking scabs off.

You now know you can't force someone to love you, to like you, or to want to text you first, if it's not there, it's not there, you stopped trying to turn copper to gold. Good.

The ones that hurt you think they're helping you by trying to stay in touch, but really all they're doing is putting salt in your wounds. Those simple texts saying "hey" can do a lot of damage to someone trying to move on.

It feels fake, and you've got a hand full of matches ready to burn this bridge in peace. They need to understand you're trying to forget they existed and for them to stop refreshing your memory.

The healing will start once you light the fire and find more suitable bridges. One with bolts, iron, cedar wood and a clear stream filled with reciprocity and a love that says I'd like to try with you. Until then it's just you. You make good company, this much you know is true.
