Just broke up with my gf of 2 years. Did so because I felt like she was putting myself before her dreams and needs and I was just the people pleaser I always used to be. We were feeding each other's anxious and avoidant patterns and she was willing to compromise on family, marriage, engagement when my head was not there yet. I broke up with her because it was a choice for me to break the curse and listen to my gut feeling. She said I gave up on her, but I told her I chose myself for once in my life. She said I would regret it, I told her I would live with it. Did my choice stem from me wanting to break free from the curse of shutting down my inner voice? Or was my anxiety and fear of the future and hollowness is what caused me to break up? Guess we will never know, but in the meantime, don't you dare go hollow.
