Absolutely loved this Faith! The image you end on of the water stain is so well-chosen. It perfectly illustrates how she is noticing problems he isn't seeing, and thus it falls on her to do the breaking up. It reminded me so much of my first long-term boyfriend!
thank you caroline!! i'm proud of that last bit of imagery so thank you for noticing :,) and i'm both relieved and sorry you can resonate LOL!!! but i suppose it's all a part of being young right
totally!! I think everyone has a relationship a little bit like this :) And you should be proud of it — my professors always say to end on an image, and when I read your story I was like yeah they’re definitely right, this really works haha
i'm not developed myself just yet (give me a year) but as i inch closer toward it i can already feel the embarrassment and see clearly all the lack of logic in my decisions in the first few years of my twenties... it's insane
this is so great. last line- absolute chills. i love the way you write autofiction!! i’m learning about autofiction in my creative writing class this semester and excited to delve into that.
this has changed my life. every line felt like it was being thrown at my face and i loved it. unfortunately saw myself and my own life between every line and had revelations i think i might just let accumulate
For a moment i thought all of this was real. I stopped in between sentences because my eyes were getting teary. the end literally made me lie on my back and look at the ceilings.
I can't lie I have been rereading this article every single day since I first came across it a month ago. The way you describe a relationship slowly falling apart, people drifting away, the sense of isolation is so so so relatable. I honestly thought I was going insane for feeling like that sometimes whilst being in a loving relationship but now I realise maybe it's an 'eldest daughter thing' as we tend to feel so much more deeply than others haha

I loved this! While I am currently you, at 22, I wonder what my frontal-lobe-developed self would have to say at the decisions I make now.
