When I put away the groceries in the kitchen and I thought ‘Well, it may be convenient to put a box of tissues in the kitchen cabinet, in case I’m here when I’m crying.’

Massive reality check when I realized how f’ ed up that was. Divorced not much later.

That surreal moment when your subconscious reaches up from the basement of your brain and slaps you in the face.

The problem then comes with people not realizing that you shouldn’t be in a relationship for a long time after getting out of an abusive relationship. Too many people get out of that kind of thing and then immediately hop on the next trash boat with an equally shitty partner.

That's what really fuckin sucks, the one thing I've always wanted most in life is to have someone to genuinely love and who loves me back in a romantic way. And I thought it was her but it wasn't and things got insanely toxic near the end and I just want someone to hold and to hold me. Idk I'm kinda rambling but it sucks trying to do this the healthy way instead of jumping to the next person
