break-up realizations (2).

i didn’t think telling people would be as difficult as it is. not telling people would come across as evasive, or in denial. they’ll find out anyway. but it’s just so awkward saying it. makes it more real.

and really, is there anything as self-indulgent as letting someone know the status of your relationship, without them asking? it’s like i put up a huge ‘conversation detour’ sign redirecting traffic to all-about-me town.

so, there’s that. telling people is harder than i expected.
