Hurting after a fight means this relationship matters to you
If you didn’t care, the fight probably wouldn’t have been so heated, and it wouldn’t hurt this much afterwards. Anger, hurt, regret and worry often arrive together in a tangle, and that is normal. You don’t have to work out who was right right now, or decide straight away whether to make up or walk away. Let your heartbeat and your breathing slow down first.
At the Quiet Station, say it to yourself first
The platform at the Quiet Station is nearly empty. Now and then a train rolls slowly in and slowly away, and no one is waiting for your answer. Write on a bedside note the thing you most wanted to say during the fight but didn’t, then the one thing you truly hope the other person understands, and fold it away so it stays only on your device. Once the feelings settle, you may see more clearly whether to reach out, and how. If fights become frequent, frighten you, or involve harm or threats, put your own safety first, and reach out to someone you trust or a professional.
No account, no name, and you can leave whenever you like.
