Going through a breakup felt like navigating a dense fog of emotions swirling in your mind. It had been a few weeks since the breakup. It had been mutual; he wanted to protect you from all the hate. Late at night, you couldn't help but replay conversations in your mind, searching for memories that might ease your pain. Everything became challenging. Simple daily tasks that reminded you of him haunted you deeply. Nostalgia would creep up unexpectedly, triggered by a song on the radio or a place you used to visit together. The only thing that momentarily cleared your mind was scrolling through social media. Without thinking, you reposted a bunch of TikToks about how you felt. Later that evening, your stomach dropped when you received a text from your ex, Lando.

"..Hey, I'm sorry to text you, but I've seen your reposts and I want you to know you can always talk to me… Even though we aren't together, I still care about your well-being."
