-
Not Synced
I'll talk to you later.
-
Not Synced
(thinking) Carley...
-
Not Synced
Carley...
-
Not Synced
Keep it together.
-
Not Synced
You can do this.
-
Not Synced
Stay with me, Carley.
-
Not Synced
Carley...(sobbing)
-
Not Synced
(sniffling)
-
Not Synced
After Us
-
Not Synced
Carley...
-
Not Synced
Carley, are you there?
-
Not Synced
You're here now.
-
Not Synced
There's no avoiding it.
-
Not Synced
Where...?
-
Not Synced
The first step, reminiscing and retracting.
-
Not Synced
I don't want to get up.
-
Not Synced
That's fine. You can lay here all day.
-
Not Synced
You can cry all night.
-
Not Synced
You're allowed to do all the things you promised
-
Not Synced
yourself you'd never do,
-
Not Synced
like listen to an old voice message to hear his voice.
-
Not Synced
(ex-boyfriend) I'm sorry I missed your call.
-
Not Synced
I'm in the subway right now, but I'll call you back later, okay?
-
Not Synced
Or wish he'd message you, just so you'd know he was thinking of you too.
-
Not Synced
But at the same time, wish he wouldn't because it would
-
Not Synced
only make you miss him more.
-
Not Synced
And you know you shouldn't, but you'd text him...
-
Not Synced
Maybe even call him.
-
Not Synced
You fight it, but you lose.
-
Not Synced
You watch those sappy rom-coms.
-
Not Synced
It's cliche, but go ahead. Eat from the carton.
-
Not Synced
(sniffling) I miss everything about him.
-
Not Synced
What do you miss?
-
Not Synced
How sturdy he felt when I hugged him tight.
-
Not Synced
The way he would rest his chin on top of my head.
-
Not Synced
How reassuring his hand felt as he carried me through a crowd.
-
Not Synced
That look in his eye when he accidentally ate the last cookie.
-
Not Synced
Sweaty kisses after he worked out, which made me cringe at the time,
-
Not Synced
but now it just makes me smile.
-
Not Synced
I miss it all.
-
Not Synced
That's okay.
-
Not Synced
You're allowed to. You're supposed to.
-
Not Synced
It's okay to look like crap and not care.
-
Not Synced
Who're you trying to impress, anyway?
-
Not Synced
You see him?
-
Not Synced
Everywhere.
-
Not Synced
It's okay to purposely avoid all those places and things.
-
Not Synced
You just want to be alone.
-
Not Synced
Your friends insist on taking you out, but all you want is...
-
Not Synced
To shut off all the lights...
-
Not Synced
curl up in bed and cry some more.
-
Not Synced
Your friends try to help by saying...
-
Not Synced
You can do so much better.
-
Not Synced
I didn't like him anyways.
-
Not Synced
I don't want to hear any of that.
-
Not Synced
It doesn't help at all.
-
Not Synced
I just...want him back in my life.
-
Not Synced
Or do you just miss the thought of him?
-
Not Synced
You miss the routine, the comfort, the body?
-
Not Synced
That's all, right?
-
Not Synced
No.
-
Not Synced
At this point, you just miss him.
-
Not Synced
And that's okay.
-
Not Synced
Carley?
-
Not Synced
Carley, are you there?
-
Not Synced
Yeah.
-
Not Synced
Do you want to get up?
-
Not Synced
Actually, I do.
-
Not Synced
(heavy sigh) How long was I there?
-
Not Synced
It doesn't matter.
-
Not Synced
All that matters is that you're ready.
-
Not Synced
For the next step...
-
Not Synced
Release.
-
Not Synced
I'm hungry.
-
Not Synced
I think you can put some effort into looking sort of decent.
-
Not Synced
What does that entail?
-
Not Synced
Brushing your hair?
-
Not Synced
Maybe a little eye shadow?
-
Not Synced
Some blush?
-
Not Synced
Yeah, no.
-
Not Synced
You're right. No blush yet.
-
Not Synced
Call up one or two of your closest friends to catch up.
-
Not Synced
You're ready to talk a little bit about your ex,
-
Not Synced
but this time with a clear head.
-
Not Synced
You might see cute guys with your eyes,
-
Not Synced
but nothing stirs inside your heart.
-
Not Synced
No butterflies, no sparks, no interest...
-
Not Synced
Because I still miss him.
-
Not Synced
You will for a while.
-
Not Synced
But at least the urges to contact him or check up become less frequent.
-
Not Synced
You just have to learn to suppress those urges now.
-
Not Synced
How long will I be here?
-
Not Synced
As long as you need to be.
-
Not Synced
You're up early!
-
Not Synced
- I'm ready!
- The next step...rebuilding.
-
Not Synced
One day becomes two.
-
Not Synced
Two becomes a week.
-
Not Synced
Weeks become months and soon you're ready to prove
-
Not Synced
to yourself that you can live on.
-
Not Synced
You actually want to go out,
-
Not Synced
socialize, meet new people.
-
Not Synced
You talk, laugh, flirt.
-
Not Synced
Yes, even flirt, or whatever you call what you just did.
-
Not Synced
I'm a little rusty.
-
Not Synced
It's okay. It's been a while.
-
Not Synced
As long as you're smiling again.
-
Not Synced
You start doing things towards a better version of you.
-
Not Synced
Trying a fruit cleanse,
-
Not Synced
finally taking that trip to Europe,
-
Not Synced
trying Yoga for the first time,
-
Not Synced
cutting your hair--oh, okay. Nothing too crazy!
-
Not Synced
Running a marathon,
-
Not Synced
checking out a museum,
-
Not Synced
cleaning out your old clothes.
-
Not Synced
You start to see life without him.
-
Not Synced
Carley...?
-
Not Synced
It was the first time he came over.
-
Not Synced
I cooked spaghetti and he got a stain on it.
-
Not Synced
I put it in the wash right away.
-
Not Synced
We ended up talking for hours, and then he forgot it here.
-
Not Synced
You've made so much progress, Carley. Please...
-
Not Synced
I kept it in my closet as a reminder of that night.
-
Not Synced
That was almost four years ago.
-
Not Synced
I thought he was the one.
-
Not Synced
We both did.
-
Not Synced
Yeah, it did feel special.
-
Not Synced
It was.
-
Not Synced
It always will be.
-
Not Synced
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try,
-
Not Synced
something can always hold you back from moving on.
-
Not Synced
A lingering memory,
-
Not Synced
a false hope,
-
Not Synced
and you fall back a few steps.
-
Not Synced
But if you can be strong,
-
Not Synced
you'll finally make it out.
-
Not Synced
Renewed,
-
Not Synced
the world is brighter, happier, lighter.
-
Not Synced
That huge weight of pain and fear has been lifted,
-
Not Synced
and all you feel is excitement.
-
Not Synced
Excitement for what's to come.
-
Not Synced
Excitement for the possibilities.
-
Not Synced
At this point, it's not even about finding another person to love.
-
Not Synced
It's about finding who you are as a person, as a human.
-
Not Synced
It's only when you don't have to consider anyone else
-
Not Synced
that you can focus completely on your life,
-
Not Synced
and creating the best possible version of yourself.
-
Not Synced
But there's no harm in smiling back at that cute guy in the coffee shop.
-
Not Synced
Even the strong cave when no one's looking
-
Not Synced
We try not to be scared of the outside
-
Not Synced
But I know that there's strenght from the fall
-
Not Synced
It's not weak to be weak at all
-
