I didn’t check his profile even once when the urge came

Dear Delyara, The urge still came. That’s worth saying. It wasn’t some clean shining act of moving on where the past no longer touched me. It was messier and more honest than that. I felt curious, low, and slightly lonely. My hand even reached for the phone the way it used to. Then I stopped. Not because I’m better than temptation. Because I’m finally more respectful of what the pattern does to me. I know exactly how that road ends now. Agitated, emptier, oddly ashamed. This time I chose not to take it. That counts.
