They're ba-ack! It's your ex, that one devastating situationship, maybe that person you never dated? Welcome or not, in touch or not, they have knocked you out of your no-contact cocoon with their resurgence. Regardless of how long ago the breakup or the ghosting happened, you feel like you are back to square one or, at the very least, are overthinking all the why's.
I'm a last year Millennial who has been there. These poems are my take on personifying all the nonlinear emotions experienced when one's healing journey is disrupted.
Whether the outcome is a reunion with that person with the courage to try or try again or finding new, authentic, empowered strength to move on once more and perhaps uncover the backdated source of the pain, I want to remind us both that one can remember, be messy, and still be all right. It's your journey.Also from
