An apology
Going Silent While You Needed Me
To my girlfriend,
I'm sorry for disappearing on you yesterday. I know you knew I was in the mountains with my mom, but that doesn't excuse me going radio silent for a whole day. You deserved at least a quick message to let you know I was thinking of you, and I didn't do that. I hate that you were left wondering.
The truth is, my head's been all over the place. My mom's health has been weighing on me heavily, and I've been struggling with a lot right now. But that's not your fault, and you shouldn't have to pay the price for what I'm going through. You matter to me—so much—and you deserve better than silence.
I need to take some time to work through what's happening with my family, and I need you to know that. But I also need you to know that my love for you doesn't change, even when I'm not showing up the way I should. I'm going to do better about staying connected with you, even on hard days. You're important to me, and I'm sorry for making you feel otherwise.
Jay
