I keep having dreams about my ex gf that I'm getting back together with her even though we split up well over 10 years ago. (hexbear.net)

The dream keeps playing out the same way. Somehow I convinced her to hook back up with me. And following the dream logic I'm in another country with her and everything is gravy. It's weird because for like 5 years I was tormented by that breakup, then for 5 years after that I didn't care anymore. Now all of a sudden I'm feeling nostalgic or something or maybe lonely, who the hell knows.

Hate it, rather not dream at all than that.

Honestly I don’t think anyone ever really gets over anyone. They just move on. I feel like I love everyone I’ve ever loved exactly the same amount as I did at the peak of our closeness, even those I had a big falling out with and haven’t spoken to in years. Being conscious of this fact is both kind of beautiful and tremendously painful and embarrassing.
