I know I said it already, but this time I promise, it's the last one. Even though I'm not very good at conclusions (ask my thesis supervisor), I did want to write a fitting concluding chapter to this story. And I wanted to thank you all, all 41 of you, strangers that I'll probably never … Continue reading Day 510: The End

Day 435: The Ultimate Test
Happy New Year!! There's something magical about January, isn't there? Anything feels possible. I feel as if 2021 is going to be even more transformative than 2020 was, for everyone. But to truly begin anew, one has to leave the past in the past. And guess who popped back into my life a few weeks … Continue reading Day 435: The Ultimate Test
Day 243: I think it’s over
Could it be true? Dare I believe it? I think so. I am over him. Wow, that feels amazing to write. And boy, am I proud of myself for going through that gruesome process of a break-up. A few weeks ago I had an intense talk with a good friend of mine. At times she … Continue reading Day 243: I think it’s over
Day 179: Standards
Recently one of my best friends and I did a High School Musical marathon. Great movies, probably because it's 90% nostalgia, but still. One thing I noticed for the first time in the second movie is what great standards Gabriella has. I know, it's High School Musical, but hear me out. At first when she … Continue reading Day 179: Standards
Day 157: More revelations
A few days ago I wrote my fifth letter for my ex. We've been broken up for 5 months now. As I was writing I noticed my tone was becoming slightly angry. It started off by irritation about how I'm still so trapped in not being able to forget him, but at a certain point … Continue reading Day 157: More revelations
Day 141: Dreams
So much has happened the past couple of weeks. I turned 24 three days ago! I moved into a studio which is completely my own and it's amazing. I had my last day at the clothing store I work at (they decided not to prolong my contract, the assholes). I had that talk about that … Continue reading Day 141: Dreams
Day 120: Still struggling
Long time no write. I guess I had to process what I wrote about in my last post. It impacted me more than I let on, and even admitted to myself. But I think I'm okay with it now. I even texted him again to ask if we could talk in person soon. I've been … Continue reading Day 120: Still struggling
Day 101: Boundaries
So last weekend I decided to be an idiot. Okay, I didn't actually decide to become one, I just let my inner idiot come out. And even that is not totally accurate, because making decisions requires a person to be present and I have to admit I wasn't fully lucid. Alright, I'll spit it out. … Continue reading Day 101: Boundaries
Day 93: Breaking free
As happens when you're going through a break up, I've been having some epiphanies lately. I came across a podcast on which advice was asked for getting over someone you still like or maybe even still love. A few things were mentioned and since every person is differently wired, it would make sense that not … Continue reading Day 93: Breaking free
Day 80: Let’s bring some psychology into this
We've officially been broken up longer than the last time. And I'm trying to start letting go of the hope we will get back together. Since my last post, things didn't go as smoothly as I wanted them to. Of course they didn't, you can't just force your thoughts and feelings to be a certain … Continue reading Day 80: Let’s bring some psychology into this
