    Font - therealJoerangutang · 9 hr. ago. edited 5 hr. ago The dress she was wearing when I met her. We dated for 3 years, and when we broke up, I was heartbroken further to see that, in the bag of clothes she was gonna donate, was that dress. She looked radiant in it that day, and I wasn't entirely ready to let go.

    Font - Unbeknownst to her, I took the dress from the bag and hid it away as a memento. We stopped talking for 3 years. There were instances in the early stages of grief where I would look at it and cry, but I wanted to remember her for the good in her.

    Font - Fast forward to a couple years ago, and she reaches out to apologize. By then, I was obviously long over her. It was a clean and honest breakup, so I told her there was nothing to apologize for. We hang out at my place one day, and I reveal to her that I kept the dress. The look of surprise on her face, man...and she almost began crying as she hugged me.

    Font - accordionwidow 10 hr. ago Wedding ring. I had it resized and wear it on my right pinkie. Not to remind me of the marriage, but to remind me not to let anyone change who I am. Also, three amazing kids. And an aversion to men that self- medicate. ↑ 1.2k ↓ Reply Share
