can you really be friends with someone you loved?

Let’s be real—“we can still be friends” usually just means I’m not ready to let go. You’ve shared the kind of closeness that doesn’t just fade into IG likes and birthday texts. You think seeing them date someone new won’t sting? That your brain won’t fire up that pain reel like it’s on autoplay? Cutting ties isn’t cold—it’s self-respect. You’re not heartless, you’re healing. The truth is, love doesn’t always come with a clean exit. Sometimes, growing up means saying goodbye with no backup plan. Because keeping your ex in your life just to prove you’re “mature” is the emotional version of poking a bruise. #loveandloss #letgoforreal #nohalfclosure
