We didn’t speak for a long time. I was miserable.
She seemed to be living her best life. So much that I ended up unfollowing on social media because I couldn’t handle the jealousy
Just when I thought I had moved on, I was in my nightly prayers and God placed her on my heart to pray for her. A few weeks later and I was starting to feel fine again, and I saw her. She moved over an hour away for school, but she was back in town for the weekend. We spoke for an hour. Catching up on our lives, dancing around the pain in my heart.
I saw her one more time the next weekend and that was it.
Nearly a month later,
I decided to let her know that I wasn’t angry at her and that I had no ill will towards her at all, but I was too scared to text her. So I posted on my Instagram story a vague note to that effect.
Later that week, I woke up to a message on Instagram. It was a video from her.
In the video. I saw the back of a head of a guy walking through a bush from about thirty feet away.
She told me that he was my doppelgänger and he was in her class. We spoke periodically that day.
Later that weekend, overtaken with confusion and pain, I called her. It rang once and she sent it to voicemail.
It was that night that I realized that she was as miserable as I was. She moved away to a new school, isolated from friends and family and making community as a transfer student is tough.
Some friends of mine had been telling me stories to that effect as well. So I texted her to let her know that I was praying for her.
A few weeks later, we started speaking again. I’m not sure why.
As of right now, we are not talking. She’s still with her boyfriend, and I cannot shake from my mind the look of longing and sadness in her eye from the last time I saw her.
In the words of Christopher Breaux.
Wish I was there, wished we’d grown up on the same advise, and our time was right.
Keep a place for me.

Hi HoTh I am wearing glasses that make everything look green. My vision therapy lady said this will cure my headaches but it just makes things green. Also there is a bat in my chimney and it’s flopping around a lot so we are hiding in the basement until it leaves. My bud just spilled his piña colada on my sweatshirt
