"Oh I forgot to tell you, I reached out to my ex a few days ago"
"Why?"
"I was just thinking about her. I felt like I never really got over her."
"We're you hoping something would happen?"
"I was."
"Did anything happen?"
"No, even though we both acknowledged how beautiful our time was."
"You must've been disappointed."
"At first, but it's funny how different I feel now."
"Yes. Because you got closure."
I know, but I'm more fascinated by how effortless it has become to let her go after the call.
Almost without my knowledge, my brain has edited out all the scenes of us being together in the future.
I feel protected by my brain.
"It's not your brain. It's you. You're getting better at giving yourself what you need."
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes, it's noon."
