If You Really Cared, You’d Want Your Ex to Find Their Perfect Match — No Hard Feelings Allowed!
Dive into the absurdity of holding onto anger after a breakup.
Hello, all.
Try to picture this: I sit in a party; people are talking, glasses are clinking. I have plenty of feelings within me. I am waiting for her — let’s call her “Sara”. It is she whom I liked at afar. Hope and excitement in my chest were funny.
But what was I most afraid of?
Was it her? No.
Or was it the thought of seeing someone I did care about walk away from a chance at happiness?
After opening up to her and sharing my feelings, she smiled, stepped back, and said “no” — not because she didn’t care, but that’s just not where she was. In that exact moment, I couldn’t help but feel angry and exposed.
In a sense, I learned something very valuable — love should never be anything like a business deal.
My Initial Reaction to Rejection
I remember getting drenched with the whole mixture of disappointment and confusion. The room got cold, and laughter from the other people became sounds at a distance.
