7 Days of Heartbreak —
Day 1: You sent him that text. You tell him this is the last time. He doesn’t fight for you. You find relief. You find certainty.
Day 2: You wake up sad. Sad and unmotivated. What if you made the wrong decision. What if it could have worked out. You stay in and listen to sad songs. You cry. You don’t eat much.
Day 3: You wake up determined. You go to the gym. You let everyone know that you finally did it. Their praises do not make you feel better. You question the authenticity of everyone’s compliments. If you are so worth it, why didn’t he see that.
Day 4: It rains all day. You think of him all day. You wonder how on earth you can love someone who doesn’t love you back. You apologize to all that have loved you, but that you haven’t loved back. You vow to be great. To never lead anyone on. To love yourself first, always.
Day 5: You want to stop counting the days. But like an addict, you feel you have to. Remind yourself how far you’ve gone. You still believe that if it worked, it would have been the greatest thing in the world. But you’ve gotten around to the fact that you guys together don’t work, therefore the greatest thing in the world is still out there. You hope.
Day 6: You wake up no longer mad at what he did. Maybe you forgive him. It’s too early to tell. But the anger that once ran under your skin is at rest. You miss him. So you pray for him. There’s nothing else you can do. That won’t compromise your own self love.
Day 7: You’re single, always were to him, just not yet ready to mingle. You’re working on yourself, and though you believe it is easier with someone — you know greatness is accessible, especially without him.
The glow up started the moment you decided to choose you.
