Last week was pretty rough for me. Not because I’m missing him, but because I’m starting to worry about what he thinks about. I mean, in some ways I wish I could be as heartless and disconnected ...


I’m having so many thoughts about reaching out to him. I knew this would be hard because I’ve stopped talking to him before. That time I lasted maybe 10 days before he sent me a picture of him an...
