Knew this would probably happen and im lucky that my new partner is so supportive and understanding but holy shit im sobbing at my favorite hangout spot trying to play Mario and cool down. Texting a few friends.

when my ex was here she lost one of her soft toys, a plush cat in the colours of the transgender pride flag, and I only found it after she was gone. I reached out to offer to give it back but I didn't get a response. so it's just been in my room for months. it's adorable and well-loved but it just reminds me of the bitterness of her.

today I gave it away to the queer support centre at the university, and they were so happy to have it. I will never see it again. I didn't expect to be so emotional over this that I'd be crying

it always catches me off guard how these seemingly small actions can make me feel really emotional, when I've already planned out what I'm going to do, it feels like the emotions should be already priced-in, so to speak. but it still hurts in unexpected ways

I'm glad that you're moving on

Thanks comrade. Still more to go through, but itll get done, and the tears are out now at least.

Feel really fortunate that i could directly text my ex about it since we're that level of close, and we had a nice little conversation last night.
