The feeling of interacting w an ex and being rooted to the spot w the sudden realization of how much you intimately know of this person you haven't even seen in half a decade
#words#its even weirder bc none of my current friends knew me when we dated#i was around a lot of toxic people at the time but i think thats just what your early 20s are like#you go so long not really thinking about someone#or thinking about your relationship and what you would say or shouldve said#and you forget how intimately you knew this other human#they say a few words and they are loaded with so much significance that it takes your breath away#how do we forge these bonds of vulnerability and seeing within each other#and then just walk away from them#how do we approach them again?! especially in a society w almost only negative scripts for how talking w an ex plays out#how do you navigate the turbulence of awkwardness and time and swallow the emotion that is sure to leap to your throat meeting their eyes#and chart a different path forward?#how do you allow yourself to be open for potential#good and still hold adamant internal boundaries to prevent spiraling into bad#hmm
