There's something about learning lessons Maybe the repetition of failing: Texting your ex while you're drunk, while you're sad, while you're anxious. Maybe the constant feeling of doubt: Does he miss you too? Is it all in your head? Should I send another text? Call? Maybe the heart wrenching truth: He opens your messages but he won't respond, he doesn't love you anymore, he doesn't think about you nearly as much as you do him. Maybe it's the bandaids you wear: Getting drunk with your friends but not texting him this time, not crying tonight. Maybe it's the lesson you've learned: You're nobody's but your own, start acting like it.
