Hey Confused 🙂

You’re right: every relationship loses the early excitement at some point, especially in a long‑distance one. Most people shift into a calmer phase, but for you the transition wasn’t smooth because fear and shutdown got mixed in.

That doesn’t mean the connection is gone, the real connection is still there, but it’s quiet right now because you’re exhausted. Be gentle with yourself. Feeling empty doesn’t mean you’ve stopped caring; it just means you’re overwhelmed 🥺

I’ll write more later using my phone.
