Do you know whats surreal?
Digging up your oldest Tumblr account and seeing someone's icon is a character just released in a game you enjoy playing and thinking "Haha, my ex would have that as their icon" and then you realize that the person with the icon IS your ex. The same ex who had unfriended/blocked you on everything the two of you ever joined together. The same ex you had been with for 7 years and at one time was engaged to. The same ex who you still loved so much but had to finally end things with because they just couldn’t stay completely faithful. The same ex who tried for months to win you back and you had to watch as they fell deeper into sadness every time you rejected them. The same ex that up and left without a single goodbye and had to hear through a mutual friend that being around you was too painful. The ex who’s blog you’re now scrolling through and quietly smiling because you can tell they haven’t changed in their hobbies and interests, but then you stumble upon a pic of them with someone else and for a moment your heart pangs. You knew there was someone else (two in fact) but you had never seen them and now you have. Scrolling more as you see them with your old love, happy, smiling, at the beach, at home, wearing silly masks in the toy aisle of a store. You were only sad for a moment, but then your heart swells up because they’re happy. That terrible sadness you had to see unfurling is gone. They’ve moved on so fully and now I can too
