She ended things months ago, declined my invitation to hang out, but somehow, my five paragraph persuasive essay is supposed to change her mind?
She didn't even entertain it. No longer a slow death with her sad smiles and exclamation mark filled texts, but a clear and unbracing ending. Hearing her angry was kind of sweet. It was what I needed to move on.
If someone continues to disappoint you, it's better to let go. You're guaranteed to get the "he was a crazy person" ending, not the rom com one.
