Finally Over You

I’ve heard the theory that you know when you’re finally “over” a past relationship when your former flame’s birthday passes and you don’t even notice it.
Walking to class today, bundled up to stay safe from the below-freezing weather, I was flipping through my journal and it amazes me how only a month or two ago, I was still writing whole entries about Justin. But not since then.
We used to keep in touch online at least every few days, but I haven’t heard from him since a couple weeks ago, when I turned down his invitation to hang out and watch TV. But I hadn’t noticed the absence until today.
Today, when I realized my birthday had come and gone without a word from him. And I guess I find that to be a bit of a relief.
