The Breakup

Yesterday I broke up with my boyfriend. We were laying in his bed about to take a nap and I was stoned out of my mind and I looked at him and realised that I didn’t like him anymore. So I left. I just got up, put my shoes on, called my uber and walked out the door. An hour or so later he noticed I wasn’t coming back and sent me a text. We mutually decided that I was too much and he was not enough and decided to go our separate ways. I wish I could say breakups were that easy but they are only that easy at first. After a nap I was no longer stoned and all of my feelings came to the surface and I made the number one mistake you can make in a breakup. I texted him. Big mistake. I think that the best way to put it is that he was less than nice to me about the situation and said all sorts of things to make me feel small and it worked. My head quickly filled with all kinds of self consciousness and self doubt. It’s exactly what he meant to do and I let him. It is important to remember that during a break up, you both are in control, just not of each other. You are you and they are them. I have created rules for myself revolving around this concept that has really helped me remember who the fuck I am and once I began following these rules I realized how truly easy it can be to move on without skipping a beat.
