Me ? A past relationship with unfinished business.

Hurt the fuck out of me.

You?

My ex who died too young, three years ago. We both moved on but his death haunts me.

Aw I’m so sorry. That’s horrifically hard.

I had a huge crush on a colleague. Made an utter fool of myself, stalking him etc. He must have thought I wa spoke Glenn Close. I sometimes still stalk him a bit online and it's a relief that he isn't as handsome as he once was. Majorly regret not going for a coffee with him when he asked me.

Not getting a great job, because the benefit regulations wouldn't let me apply. Aaargghhhh. They wanted me to apply as well. Aaargghhhh.

Quite alot of my past behaviours!! Thank God I've grown up!

Letting family obligations win over what would have made me happier in my own life. It was the right thing to do, for many reasons, but I still wonder what my life would have been.

My 2 closest friends that were sisters, phasing me out of their life when I was pregnant then ghosting me as soon as my daughter was born. It’s been 5 years almost but it still haunts me a bit because it hurt so much at the time.

Too many to mention

Cutting a parent and sibling from my life. I get why I did it, I was overwhelmed at the time, and very sad. But I'd handle it differently now.

My behaviour as a teen/young(ish) adult.
I said some horrible things to my beloved grandparents at times and who have since died.
We were very close and I had grown up a lot before they passed but I just wish I'd been a better granddaughter at times.

Not asking for help when I was so down and lost. I ended up very unwell and had to drop out of the uni course I was studying. Now I am stuck on UC and have no prospects at all.

Is it too late to make contact again?

Looking in the mirror at the top of my landing. I swear the longhaired asian girl from The Ring will get me.

See also any scrambly tv.

(I'm a 37yo grown up btw. And also run up the stairs and jump into my bed quickly. Don't watch horror films kids)
