The title is a message to all the people that somehow took a little bit of their time to give me support. From family, friends, and even complete strangers on this beautiful community that are the kindest to random people like me. Thank you. I've been feeling better. Mornings are still a bit difficult because I can't control dreams, but as the days go by I feel like 1% better. Sometimes I also feel 1% worse, but it's part of life.

This is also a message to my ex-partner - who I already told these things yesterday. Thank you for teaching me a lot:

- You taught me how learning to face our own demons can help us improve as a person. I know I did, I know I fought like I never did for someone. And now I know that it didn't work, not because I wasn't enough, but because you are in a place where you still need healing. I wanted to help you, but in the end it's a journey one has to do alone - at least if by refusing to heal you hurt those around you. I get it now that you didn't want to hurt me (and hurt yourself in the process). I respect that.

- You taught me it's ok to be vulnerable. I know I have been vulnerable online sometimes because it's easier to vent out with people that will never meet us. But I always had high walls around me to anyone around in the "real" world. You were patient and caring and even though I let all walls down for you, I don't feel like I have to force them all up again. In the end, I've connected with more people than before because of this. I not longer am afraid of being honest with how I feel about something of to encourage those around me with my words. And definitely know I'll always be able to be honest with you.

- You taught me how it's impossible to control everything. I told you "I don't know what went wrong.. I'm not usually like this, I can separate things so well and I'm way more chill in general with people" to which you said "I know you like to overanalyze everything to be in control but it's impossible to control feelings. You can't. You're not a robot. And that's why it's going to be difficult for a while. It's also difficult for me, but it's for the best because your deserve better. We will eventually be ok and hopefully be friends like before". And yes, you've been helping me with making things less difficult by still maintaining our relationship at a "old friends" level with normal conversations, snarky comments and jokes.

In the end, I've learned a lot of things about myself because of you. So thank you. I'm happy that you were the first person I was crazy about. That I loved. And I know it's going to be hard moving forward. Reaaaaally hard. But it's for the best. And I know I'll make it somehow. I wish you heal and love yourself before anyone else. I know I'll try to do the same.
