this is a truly powerful piece, shibby--i'm in awe. the way you compare romantic love--connection--to building a home, wonderful. there's so many lines here to love, but i particularly enjoyed both 'And then one day, you don’t.' and 'Your best wasn’t enough for me. That’s not a crime. That’s just sad.' <3
I love how you encapsulated the feeling of leaving and trying to change your perspective to being happy for them <3 also comparing anger to a raft, I've always viewed anger as such an action-driven emotion but it really just allows sadness and hurt to be suppressed
i loved reading this, it was beautifully written. this piece brought up some of my own emotions because i could definitely relate in a few ways. it’s hard to let go, especially when you let yourself love someone that much, that purely. i’m still working in my own anger from past relationships too. beautiful writing ❤️
Wow this perfectly captured how I felt during my breakup that inspired my writing journey. The way you describe heartbreak makes me feel seen on so many levels. It’s been beautiful to dive into different forms of grief through Substack and I really appreciate this piece ❤️
beautiful piece - I can feel the emotions behind it, and cannot agree more with how grief, heartbrake sometimes feel
we might think we're okay, but one day we see something that reminds us of them and all of the feelings seem to be flooding us again
it's on us then, how we'll deal with that flood
