heartbroken. sorry, sorry, I know, it's cliche...

mid-20s. valued friend, we got close, mixed signals, he slept with his ex, backed off from her once he saw how much it hurt me, realized he wanted to give a relationship with me a shot, maybe?

bullshit. sweet-sounding words. I'm so naive. things don't just work out like that. this isn't a romcom.

common sense tells me better, rationality berates me, but right now I just hurt, and I'm bitter, and I'm cursing myself for ever letting myself get this invested again.

you're an idiot, girl.

sorry, MMFB, I know there's worse stuff out there, but I've no one else to rant to right now save for people who tell me that I overreact, so here goes nothing at all.
