I don't know, we used to just... It's not that we took a ton of walks, but... We took some walks.

You know, I can't... I can't say that anything of substance happened. It's not like any one specific thing. It's just... I don't know.

I know, there really was. That's the thing that's so weird. It's like... You know, you just... You put so much energy into something and then one day it's time to stop. I don't know.

Like on that, in front of that building. Right there. This like churchy looking building. It was where we were parked when we first had the conversation where we decided we were going to be exclusive. Which was a joke. Like I don't really date around and I don't think he does either. But you know, it's kind of a big conversation.

It's so embarrassing. I don't want to get upset. But, like, he has a car. So the last time I saw him on purpose was just in the car in front of my house. And, I don't know, it's just bad.

I don't walk down this street. I just don't. Like, I haven't even seen him for a month. You know what I mean?

That's the crazy thing about it. Breaking up with someone is literally the most common thing. Everyone you know broke up with everyone they ever dated until maybe the person they're with right now, if they're with someone right now. But when it happens to you, it feels so specific. I don't want to say I can't get over it, but in a flippant way, you kind of can't get over it. You're like, what?
