Walked past him on the street tonight

[Niceseasidetown]

Not an ex.

An 'almost was' who behaved very badly to me. Six months ago now.

I'd been out for wine with a friend.

Was on the phone with another friend.

Clocked him. Narrow path. Nowhere to go.

Acted engrossed in the call. Laughing. Relaxed.

I've got a lovely tan. I had my hair done today.

He was alone.

He saw me.

I'm fine. It's nothing.

But I knew I'd see him today. Even told my friend. How strange.

And a piece of me wants him to wish he'd behaved better.

He probably does....
But you keep walking... head held high!
😊

Just don't go fantasising that he is this better person you wish he was.

He was a loser then. He's still a loser now.

If he gets in touch, don't reply. He'll only reel you in and be an asshole again.

Hold your head up high and be glad he saw you looking hot - and disinterested.

He'll be 100% licking himself now.

Please please remember how horrible he was and don't go there!

I only bump into people in situations like this when I'm looking my absolute worst so that's a massive win!!!!!

@holliebo licking 😂😂
Definitely completely blank him if he messages you !

Thank you. I didn't want to alarm my friends by telling them.

He won't message. I made it clear three months ago that wouldn't be welcome. There was a window to apologise but that closed.

It's funny isn't it how reassuring it is to feel you looked OK.

I saw a ghost that's all. I saw the past.
