Then I blocked him.
Some love stories are not about finding the right person. They are about finally becoming the right person for yourself.
And Matteo? He texted last month. “I’ve changed. Can we try again?”
And that was it. That was the moment I knew. A person who dismisses your pain as oversensitivity is not a partner. They are a warden.
I typed: “I hope you do change. For the next girl. But my diary has already written a different ending.”
