The relationship didn't last long, yet it has caused so much damage Sometimes I feel really stupid that I've been suffering so much for something that didn't even last a year. I feel a bit inadequate too when I remember how some of my friends made it seen as if I was overreacting, although some of them from time to time take the time to remind me that it was not my fault and it is okay to feel the way I do. And usually I do feel okay when it comes to my feelings over what happened, but days like today, when his birthday is approaching, I cannot help but think why on earth that even affects me.

But I know why. And I got to remind myself to give me space to feel. There are no rules when it comes to hurting or healing.
