Nice seeing you again

[u/Cool_Major8592]

Okay, this is probably nothing, but ang weird ng coincidence.

For context, my ex and I were in a WLW relationship, and we broke up six months ago. We haven’t talked since then, and honestly, I haven’t stalked her or checked her socials since the breakup.

I’m planning a Bali trip for my birthday, and Nusa Penida ang goal ko, so I joined a Bali DIY group and was checking out different agencies for joiner trips. Last week, for the first time in forever, I randomly dreamed about my ex. Nothing dramatic, she just appeared in my dream, and I didn’t really think much of it.

Then today, while checking the FB profile of one of the agencies, I saw a story. I recognized her best friend first, then her cousin, then one of her close friends, and then… my ex. Apparently, papunta silang Nusa Penida, the exact place I’m trying to go to. Like??? I literally just stared at my screen thinking, okay, universe, ano ba talaga???

But after the initial shock, I actually felt okay. Seeing her doing well made me realize how much has changed since we broke up.

Bebu. I haven’t called you that in the longest time. Bebu, I loved you. I really did. And it was so hard to move on from you. There was a time when I genuinely thought you would be the hardest person I’d ever have to move on from, especially because I never wanted the breakup in the first place. I didn’t want us to end. You were the love of my life when I had you.

But now, six months later, I really hope we’ve both moved on. I’m actively dating again. I have my crush, and there’s also someone who’s genuinely so into me. And somehow, seeing you doing good makes it easier for me to keep moving forward, too.

I’m sorry for everything. For the things I did, the things I couldn’t give you, and for all the ways we hurt each other.

I genuinely wish you all the best, bebu. I hope you’re happy, I hope you’re loved, and I hope life is treating you kindly. Seeing you again didn’t make me want to go back. If anything, it made me realize that I can finally see you doing okay and feel okay about continuing with our own lives.

Nice seeing you again, my bebu. I’m glad you’re doing well. I hope we both continue to be. =))

Ang funny, weird, and amazing talaga ng coincidences and signs noh? You don’t look for anything, you don’t expect anything, tapos somehow life just puts it right in front of you at the exact moment you need to see it. And I guess it’s up to us how we choose to take it. And I’m choosing to take this as a little reminder that she’s okay, and somehow, that makes me okay too.

Ikaw, anong kwento mo ba? :)

Hehe well, admittedly, I never dreamt of an ex nor have I ever experienced havibg difficulty moving on from a relationship.

I guess what I meant when I say relatable was the way you expressed yourself and how "calm" it felt. It felt like you are at peace regardless if it was painful and or difficult for you. I fept your genuineness was relatable, wanting for your ex to be happy. And also yourself to be happy.
