''Sometimes, we let go of someone before we even realise we're doing it.''

Diary Entry, December 23rd

I didn't see Ethan much this week, and for once, it felt okay. I guess after hearing what I heard, something shifted. It's not like I don't still have feelings for him—because I do—but I think I'm finally starting to accept that it's never going to be anything more.

It's weird, though. I spent so long imagining what it would be like to be with him, and now... now, I just feel tired. Tired of trying, tired of hoping, tired of pretending I don't care.

Maybe I'll still think about him when I see him around school, but I think it's time I stop daydreaming about a future that won't happen. I'm not sure how to say goodbye to someone I was never really close to, but I guess this is how it starts.
