Lost Feelings

i went through something similar in my third year with my ex — we were comfortable, everyone thought we were solid, but i kept feeling this quiet ache like something was missing. i tried to ignore it, told myself i was being ungrateful, but it just got louder. what helped me was carving out time to be alone — like, really alone. i started taking solo walks after dinner, no music, just thinking. that space showed me i’d been numbing out, not because he was bad, but because i stopped checking in with myself. i’d say try one small thing: plan a day where you do exactly what *you* want — no商量, no compromises. go to that museum, drive to the coast, bake at 2am — whatever feels alive to you. if you come back and still feel flat with him, that’s info. if you miss him, that’s info too. you don’t have to have answers now, just gotta stop running on autopilot. my gut says you already know what’s true — you just need to let yourself feel it ❤️
