about my ex - radio

("I think some people come into your life to teach you something, you know? And sometimes the lesson isn't love. Sometimes the lesson is learning when to leave. For a long time, I kept trying to see the version of them that I fell in love with. Not the person they were becoming, not the person standing right in front of me. Just... the memory... And memories are dangerous because they're usually prettier than the truth.... I don't hate them. I don't even think I could. But I do wish I had listened to myself sooner.... There were so many moments where my heart knew something my mind wasn't ready to accept.... I used to think losing them was the worst thing that could happen to me.... Turns out, losing myself would've been worse.")
