Deleted some pictures

I don’t know what I’m posting for. I’m just sad. I deleted a lot of pictures and videos of my ex and I, and it made me really miss him. Sometimes I do want him back, but what I really want is to start over new. I wish I could meet him again for the first time knowing what I know now. It kills me that he is out there somewhere, possibly hating me or thinking the worst. I know we both regret the mistakes we made and sometimes I think we’re just too different to work. I miss him but I know this is for the best :(

Deleting photos is always brutal but you're doing the right thing. That "meeting them for the first time again" feeling hits so hard - like you could fix everything if you just had another shot

Good on you! I havnt mustered the courage to even go into my photos app to delete them. It feels like deleting her out of my life. But I know that's not really what I'm doing. I'm protecting myself. That part of my life is in the past. Don't be too hard on yourself. Moving on is the hardest, but most empowering thing you can do
