Exquisite writing, conveying the sorrow and acceptance in a way that is beautiful and universally true. I really resonated with the concept of self discovery after the belief in forever ends.

As someone who has felt this loss in both ways, and who is currently still feeling the leaving, I believe that he will probably still miss you when it rains for quite some time. That doesn't mean that reunion is desired, only that your time together meant a lot to him too. I hope that the weight of this love lightens with each passing season, and that one day you'll be free to love again, much more deeply and in the fullness of time.

I love how your wholesome comment is in perfect harmony with Kriti's astoundingly beautiful writing. Both, a balm for my unhealed wounds.

I have struggled with processing hurt and grief for a few months now, and this has been very illuminating for me, marking a final closure so that i can move on in life with grace and forgiveness.

Thank you both for this, i appreciate it a lot.

I'm glad I could contribute something valuable to the conversation. Time heals all wounds, and makes the ones that don't heal a easier to manage after a while 🫶

I’m holding my tears right now, cause this is exactly how it felt with mine, we recently just split 2 weeks ago yeah not long at all and it’s been so difficult my heads been a spiral of thoughts, I let my emotions get the better of me as a result I broke no contact 2 weeks ago and said some harsh words to her after that she blocked me everywhere, saying “we’re basically broken up “ when I asked for clarity it hurts so much cause I don’t even know how and what exactly happened..was I too much ? I could feel her drifting away..2 weeks later after so much thoughts I can only hope for a better reunion I might never get..I love you Kriti thank you for making me so seen 💕

This was so beautiful, and felt like it was straight out of the heart. Not pretentious, no exaggeration, just pure feelings. Very rarely love is portrayed in such a simple, yet heartfelt way, and it was so beautiful

Truly showed, this was written by that small piece of heart that still belonged to him, but didn't craved for him accepting the reality & still loving him as it is.

Beautifully written Kriti, love to read this stories. can't wait for the next one.

i am honestly blown away. this piece made me feel so seen. especially the part about not knowing where to place your anger when the person you love leaves with gentleness and grace. you’re often left confused on where to place the anger or how to move on out of acceptance. it’s so hard to let go of someone you never wanted to let go of. but it truly did lead me back home to myself. im rooting for you and a love that will stay! i am sure we will find it! 🩷
