DAY 28: Tales Of Insta Thirsts And Solo Investigations
Day 28 Of How To Move On From A Man — 1LD
Despite their natural hesitation to talk about my breakup, some of their reluctance to speak to me stemmed from the fact they had nothing to tell.
No information.
No insights.
Only more questions about why Douglas had dumped me.
Even Taylor, his own brother, couldn’t figure out why Douglas had decided to move on. They came from a family where you didn’t explain yourself.
You simply had trust and respect for the decisions of others, no matter how reckless they seemed.
And asking for an explanation was the height of bad manners. It explained why I didn’t get anywhere with Douglas during our break-up.
Silence was his best friend. He would rely on it even when he shouldn’t.
I sat up in bed and seized my laptop from the nightstand. I went to open my emails, do a little work, and get ahead for the week.
But then I saw my Instagram opened on a separate tab and I decided I had to be my own source of answers. I couldn’t rely on anyone else to solve this problem for me.
If I wanted to know why my ex broke my heart, I would have to do it myself.
I searched his name. It didn’t come up. I searched through Taylor’s friends, and it had disappeared too. I went to a photo I posted where I knew I had tagged him.
The tag was now gone.
Unless he deleted his Instagram, which was highly unlikely for him, I figured he blocked me. My instinct was to call James and see if he had blocked him too. Yet, that would be dragging people back into my mess.
No, I had to figure this out on my own.
I went onto the Instagram page we reserved for our business. Highway’s Instagram account had zero followers, zero posts, and zero interest. Yet I knew Douglas knew zero about its existence.
It was the perfect outlet to find him and see if he had truly removed himself from social media.
As I thought, he hadn’t. I was blocked. And for good reason.
His page didn’t look anything as I remembered it. Before the breakup, he rarely posted photos of himself without a suit on, looking professional and trustworthy.
Now, every picture was of him at the gym. Him by the pool. Him having woken up and found an unsuspecting camera taking a picture of him.
It was a thirst trap account now, with no indication he had ever been off the market.
Is this what he wanted? The single life? Is this what he left me for?
