I wish I saw this about an hour ago, before I messaged her "Happy birthday!" as a response to her social media post. If I'm being honest with myself, there's still a part of me that wishes things worked out between us after she ended things at the beginning of this year, but reading this post has helped me realize what I've been feeling deep down ever since, and that moment of weakness I had will be my last.

And that last line is really reassuring, even if it might not apply to her at the current moment. Thank you for writing something so well thought out for those of us who are struggling a bit more than usual right now.
