“I appreciate you” three words I now hate to hear.

My last relationship ended in the weirdest way possible, we never said we were breaking up but we just did and I’d tell you why. It was his birthday and I decided to take him out for lunch (something I have never done in my life), we had the most amazing meal and we took some pretty amazing pictures if I do say so myself. I didn’t post the pictures on my Instagram page because I felt it wasn’t my place to do that so I waited for him. He did as expected, I commented and he did not reply to my comment, you’d think he was too busy but he replied every other comment and ignored mine. 3 years after, he felt I was worthy of a reply and sent these words “I appreciate you”, it was bad enough he didn’t reply immediately, it was worse he replied years after but it was a blow to my heart he said those words. I laughed it out and said “Oh no you didn’t…” but deep down I was heartbroken, by the way he cropped me out of the picture he posted so imagine the way I felt, I can laugh and write about it now because I am over it and we still interact whenever we come across each other. If by chance you read this K, I want you to know that I hold nothing against you and I wish you well. This article wasn’t planned but I now intend to be more spontaneous with my writing and go with the flow.
