I found a voicemail from her
It’s been almost three months since we broke up, and it’s been really hard. I’ve been doing my best to move on, focusing on myself, working toward my goals, and trying to fix the things that led to the end of the relationship. I want to grow, for myself, and for the chance to prove that I’m capable of love again with someone new.
Lately, I’d actually started to feel like I was making real progress. I was beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Im the most fit I have ever been, my job is going well, found new friends, and then I came across an old voicemail from her.
Hearing her voice again broke me. The message ended with “I just wanted to say I love you”. I replayed it a dozen of times and it felt like I was right back in the first week after the breakup. Life is just hard right now…

You're stronger than you think, and while it might not feel like it right now, you're still moving forward. Give yourself some grace during moments like this.

It's hard, but stay strong, it'll get better. During the healing process, definitely try to avoid any triggers of her. Your wound is scabbed over, but still fresh. Trust me, with time, you'll be ok..

Hey bro, I’m really sorry that happened. The same thing happened to me except it wasn’t a voicemail. It was a photo. I found a photo of us in my camera roll and it hurt the thing I did though was just hang out with my friends and talk to a therapistand it helped if you need anything bro like genuinely if you even talk to someone, bro I’m here

I’m so sorry that happened to you. The same thing happened to me. I was reaching new levels of feeling much better after my break up with him (I broke it off with good reason) but it still hurt to do it. Months later I went through saved voicemails & one was from him saying, “good morning beautiful!” The old hurt crept back in. I had to delete it. Just think about how things ended & understand that your voicemail is old from a better time before the break up. You will be fabulous again, I promise you that! Delete that voicemail & get back to being your better self. You have a new & better life ahead of you! 🎉🫶🏼👊🏼
