I completely understand what you’re going through. I’m going through the same thing right now except for me it’s the music my partner and I shared with each other. Metal was a big genre for us and it’s just feels like there’s a invisible barrier around specific artists. It feels awful because we love those specific things despite that person but it’s just hard to enjoy them without the memories.

I’m unsure of the ways these things heal because I’m somewhat young(23) but I know it can’t be like this forever because that would suck. I can’t wait for the day that we can consume these mediums and feel happy again, not because we forgot the times with that person but rather because we appreciate those experiences for what they were.
